Is it a quilt?  Well, not strictly speaking ...

I've been calling this WIP a quilt, but actually there's no quilting involved.  So it's going to eventually be a bedspread - or at least a medium sized throw.  You wouldn't think there's any warmth to something that's partly made up of empty spaces, but it's surprisingly cosy when it's draped over my lap. 
Each of the yo-yos has a button at its centre, and I'm running short of buttons now.  Time to rummage around in some charity shops and see what I can find.  Someone's bound to have given away a button tin or jar, or at least a bagful of assorted buttons.  Don't you love charity shops?  You never know whether you're going to come away empty handed or with a new 'treasure'.  Some nifty piece of china, a bargain priced dress, tapestry wool or a book you've wanted for ages.   Everyone's got a tale to tell of their best ever find.

I was searching for hanging needlepoint and found your hanging work and then this site. I have approached needlepoint design like you, and for the same reasons. Can you share how you prepare the back to hang a needlepoint? I didn't find it anywhere on this site. Thanks! Love you work!

    Hi - I'm a (mumble mumble) year old singleton, living in South West England, in a cluttered flat with too many metres of fabric and too few biscuits in the tin!
