OCP* for December

*Obligatory Cat Post (without which one's blog is removed with tweezers)

Both warm (above the radiator) and amused (looking out of the window)
What more can a cat require?

Cat approves
This post is brought to you by Obligatory Cat Posts Unlimited, a small company of great power and influence

Meanwhile, Heather and I have been conspiring for a new group, Broadland Art Textiles, see right.. If you are relatively local and fancy joining, see the "Join This Group" page on that blog..

Roadkill - Autumn Sleep

Says it all..

Thursday Night

 Another of my Accidental Faces Series - and yes, it's upside down. Interesting how the brain is attuned to the basic face idea

And this one is From The Wall, and Shadows, and Blue

Frustration

My hand still isn't healed.. I'm feeling cross and weak and viciously frustrated, but I have been working, after a fashion.. I can't afford not to, as the money will run out pretty soon.
Did a craft Fair.. Oh, yes, now I remember why I don't do these.. All day, well-meaning enquiries about the hand and  "Oh, not healed yet?" And few sales and those small.. Oh, yes, that's why..
And I belong to a group called Fast Friday Fabric Challenge which proposes a theme each month and allows a week to make a quilt on that theme.. This (above) took 20 minutes.  I then spent an hour trying to access the blog to upload it.. Bloody Google insists that I must get a code from my mobile phone to allow access, and I can't give a number.. I'm not thirteen, don't live to text, just want to show my work on a forum I belong too.. I don't know why I bother.. Actually, I think I won't any more.. Not amusing enough..

ETA.. Thanks Tobi, you've sorted and solved and I will leave you my stash in my will..

French things

 Birds on a Wire

and Chequered Log
at the French hotel on the way back from Holland..

At OEQC Veldhoven

 Apologies, I photographed a lot of these before the show was properly hung, so no tickets.. I'll try to add names tomorrow, and there will be more images

 This was by Maia Chaimovich, and is part of a big display of stunning quilts by her

 This one I can't ID, sorry.. Lovely colours

 Nor this, but here's a detail

 This is Berlin Bear, by Marjan van der Heijden from Eindhoven (next door!).  It's beautifully made..

 This one was on the floor, one of a series of delicious small-block quilts

This is Skyline, by Claudia Scheja from Werne in Germany, and is Best In Show.. It's gorgeous

More tomorrow
