Somewhere underneath that pile of clutter is a dining table ...

I'm destined never to have a neat and tidy house.  I mean, look at the state of this perfectly good dining table.  Having moaned about that, I had terrific fun playing about with the Gelli printing plate again.  Most of the prints you can see are very much works-in-progress, and will be printed over or stenciled over and stamped on.   Apart from that, I dug out a couple of incomplete quilts in the making, checking what else I needed to do in order to finally get 'em completed.  This denim lap sized quilt won't end up any bigger, so I had to decide whether to use wadding as well as backing fabric for it.   I think wadding would make it too bulky, so I'm going to add a backing of something like thick brushed cotton.  A cosy fabric, but not one that's stretchy like fleece.  I fancy a bright tomato red, along with red binding, but that might change.   I really like the differences in colour you get with used denim.  Some darke...
