Can I tempt you to come on a course? This is what we made in the first class this term. I love it that people used the metal type to write 'Happy' and 'bliss' on their pots, a real validation! The next day courses are 20th February 10-4 Handbuild a tea set £65 and March 20th Porcelain handbuilding 10-4 £65, contact me to book info@racheldormorceramics.con

This is the final strip of the blanket, it's almost ready and I can't wait to see it all assembled, I'll write up the pattern and post a picture when it's ready and will work out how to let people download it!

Here are some houses that I made when I ran a kids workshop in half term, everything they made was so lovely- we made a street scene and they have all since taken their houses home.

Here's another finished project! I'm thinking of running a cushion making day course later this year, so I thought I would do a test run, and this is what I made. It's Amy Butler fabric and Japanese tweed. The back is some lovely stripy Paul Smith material.

First jelly roll quilt

Here's another finished project, I bought a delicious jelly roll at the patchwork show and I made this baby quilt for one of my nieces. I still have some material left so I think I will just patch it without as much white. Its very wonky but super soft.

Jay and I agreed that we had to finish some projects this year or we weren't allowed to buy anything, so I've been in a frenzy of activity and finally finished this crazy log cabin quilt. I started it when I had a baby, he's nearly 7 now!
