I have been stitching some of Judes *Magic Clouds*. Jude often uses an Indonesian designed fabric which looks like clouds. I have used some of her magic thread to stitch some of those clouds onto my slow cloth. Also, visit Eva's blog, she has designed some of her own fabric range use her stylised clouds too. You may have to click on the photo's below to get a closer look, they are quite subtle.
Clouds in the night sky.
Journal page.A few more quirky little houses that I popped in my journal . I love the different shapes and the wispy trees, I have also used them in my quilt.
I have been painting with gouache for while now, but I dont usually put photos on my blog.... but I just wanted to show that I have been doing something other than that tiny bit of stitching above!!!
I have been painting with gouache for while now, but I dont usually put photos on my blog.... but I just wanted to show that I have been doing something other than that tiny bit of stitching above!!! A painting in my sketchbook from a studio morning at local artist Meg Abrechts home. Pomegranates are one of my favourite fruits...I love their jewelled red seeds.
Sorry there are two identical photos. A mistake when loading and I now I cant work out how to delete it!!!
I also did a water colour of pomegranates which I thought I had loaded, but alas, I had loaded the same photo twice. A little bit of Judes magic thread has appearedin this photo too..... how did that get in there?
Have a wonderful week......
And I'll leave you with this photo of a vase of lovely native Ficifolia blooms on my sisters dining table. Arent they beautiful? Lee always has beautiful flowers in her home.
Have a wonderful week......

Hello, your stitching continues so beautifully and had to say those flowers are amazing. The color and their form. I have never seen these. I didn't know you were painting with gouache. The little painting is beautiful.
I love your painting of a pomegramite. I bought a wonderful felting book all about sky scapes recently. There are so many ways to mirror and honour nature. Have a wonderful week end.
Jacky your stitching looks fabulous, please bring it for show and tell so we can see it in the flesh. Your pomegranates are gorgeous too.
Your slow cloth is a joy! It looks as if everything is flowing so easily. I loved looking at the stitching in the closeups.

slow meditation
in stitching..
I particularly love the top one.

Hi, Jacky! I love all the treasures you chose to share today ... the quilting, the journaling, and the painting. Yum! :-)
Beautiful! I love the clouds and your beautiful stitching. I love the pomegranate - the gouache looks so rich.
And those flowers! Those flowers are gorgeous! I'm always so impressed with the variety of flora and fauna in Australia - it looks so exotic to me.
your little houses in the top picture are fantastic! and your watercolour, well, i wish I was that good!
What a lovely post Jacky, I love the quilted houses and the land and sky colors and fabrics, your pomegranite painting and the pink blooms. I can feel spring here! roxanne
