I know I have said this in the past but I am truly blessed to be a member of the Liverbirds. On Wednesday my very generous friend Janet brought lots and lots and I mean lots of fabric for a raffle. I won two very generous bundles, however there where 22 of us and we all won two bundles (see what I mean by lots). If that was not enough my lovely friend Hilary gave me a box of water colour pencils. I adore water coloured pencils, I use them in my sketch books quite a bit. Today I decided to give my newly acquired pencils a try out and they are just lovely to draw with. They are very smooth and make lovely marks on the paper. I have also tryed them out on fabric and they work a treat. As you can see I am still working on the City project, the third picture is a mono print I have created which I hope to layer and quilt tomorrow.

fantistic drawings Susan! you are very clever! I love your wall hanging too, so lovely to see the real thing! You are quite right about Liver Birds, Janet is very generous with her fabrics and time, I'm so glad that Barbara gave her that beautful crocheted cloth, I felt that Janet went home with something as well as everyone else! xx
