Before being seduced by paper arts, I was strongly into textiles - sewing, patchwork, quilting, embroidery - it was all me! I've been resisting the call of fabric for far too long and have started experimenting with ideas from Pam Sussman's Fabric Journals book. I've started on an experimental journal, but this is my entry into Sheilagh's everyday book (the theme this month was 'growth' with the colours of gold and green). I suspect the colours on screen are more muted than IRL - the green at the top is almost like those '80s luminous socks (oops were they really a fashion?!) and the orange section is luscious silk from Designers Guild
