My Michelle quilt, I just Love! all of Michelle Ridways designs and I had the idea of putting them all together for a quilt for my daughter in-law Melissa. I think that I have brought every DMC thread 816 in Bundy.(ha ha) . At christmas we have lots of Michelles design hanging up or on tables especially my favourites Gingies. I would like to say a big Thank you to Michelle she certainly brings lots of JOY into our home. Cheers xxxx
Hi again, here is a painting by my darling husband Dave, he paints and I stitch. Also some bags I designed ,and my biggest project ever, my Royal quilt,it has approx 30 x stitches and the whole history of the British reigns. I gave this quilt to my eldest daugter Allison as she is mad on British history! Cheers .xxxx

My season bags design by the lovely and very talented Micheele Ridway. I just love the colours that Michelle chose in these very sweet season designs. I had thought of making a quilt but decided to make a bag for every season. I adore country colours and I always have a lot of nice comments made about my bags,so far I have used the Spring one and now I am using the summer one. Next one will be Christmas! I think maybe I am a old?bag lady ha ha.xxxx
