Mum's latest creations from Sydney

Mum's been working hard and sent me some pix for the blog. These are the squares she'd been crocheting which are now assembled into a warm rug for the winter.

And here is the perfect garment for going to check the letterbox.

Patchwork silk

Years ago when Mum used to do dressmaking she'd make lots of wedding and evening dresses out of the finest of silks in all different colours. Even then she'd keep all the scraps. She's been going through some works in progress we'll finish one day - patchwork silk recto verso. They will make fine bedspreads like some she's already made and given away.

Keeping her feet warm

It's been a while since I've posted, but just to let you all know that Mum's keeping busy with material for the book. She's also keeping her feet warm with some non-handmade slippers that she might adapt.
