Time is flying by, it's July already and I've been in the studio for a whole month. The divide between work and home is so much better, Sundays are our day off now, and we love it! The house is just about back to normal, although there is still a rather large pile in my old work room to be sorted out.I had a great excuse to get tidied up at the weekend, this lovely lady was coming to stay. We had such fun catching up with each other and also planning the first of our summer courses. Rach is coming to do a weekend course "Quick quilt in a weekend" on 19th & 20th July, as the title suggests, you'll go home with a gorgeous lap quilt after two days of expert tuition from this award winning lady!
Along with Rachel's courses we're also going to be doing "Beginners guide to Keeping Chickens" and a gardening course on "Herbaceous Gardening". The leaflets will be finished by the end of this week so if anyone is interested drop me a line at info@primrosehillinteriors.com
Another project that I am working on is really quite exciting. I have been asked by Visit Scotland to produce a collection of work for them to take to the Festival Interceltique in Lorient, Brittany. I don't really do tartan twee so this has been a bit of a challenge, plus there are only so many things that you can make at trade and still make a decent profit. So, my harris tweed stash has been raided and some sketching of thistles has been done.......
I've decided to go for an earthy-grassy-sea inspired pallete of colours, not my usual bright and breezy stuff, and I'm really enjoying the change. The deadline for the finished work is fairly soon, so I'm going to be burning the midnight oil I think, what's new eh!!!
The pictures are of the fabrics I'm using and of the progress I've made today.

My you do sound like you have a busy time ahead. A trip to Brittany at the end of it all sounds great though!
Your house/studio also sounds like it will be over run with people in the coming weeks. I do love a busy home. I am missing having friends and family around, the only down side to travelling.
Will stop by again soon hopefully

Glad the studio is working out so well. Love the sound of your earthy palette particularly if thistles feature in it. Looking ofrward to seeing the results xx
Tweed bunting - how lovely? I'm guessing that's what it is anyway. Your courses sound great, especially the weekend quilt one. Wish I lived nearer.
