Come away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o
I haven’t posted squares every day, but I did gather together more than I’ve posted so here are my last four.
I’m sure I’m not alone in looking forward to Becky’s next square challenge, many thanks lovely lady!
At the bottom of West Street in Exeter, this 3 storey merchants house is believed to date back to 1430,
So these wooden lines have been around a while.
Tomorrow is the last day of Becky’s Square lines challenge for October.
I find the history of textiles really interesting,this early carding machine gets the yarn all lined up.
Just today and two more chances to join Becky’s square challenge.
Not the sharpest of images, but I like the colours and the dark, twiggy lines.
Day 27 of 31 of Becky’s Square Lines
Just a week left of Becky’s square lines challenge and I haven’t managed as many as I’d hoped. Luckily she doesn’t mind, all are welcome with that lovely lady. Today mine is a hotch-potch of man made and natural, beside the Exe.
Today Becky has a gallery of square entries to share,so sit back and enjoy.
Cathedral Close is a place I used to love going to when I was a small girl, to feed the pigeons and play on the grass under the trees. I still love to stroll around and sometimes the light is just right.
And so, I hope, are the lines in my photo, just right for Becky’s lines and squares.
For Becky
The Britannia Royal Naval College Dartmouth had lines in all directions on the proud mummy day of my son’s passing out parade.
Becky has another gallery of lines in squares today
I found this pretty door in my files and thought it would make a good square with a bit of cropping.
On Saturday Becky had a post featuring lines on a sports pitch, but no ordinary one, it was the Paralympics. What an amazing event that must have been to see!
I’ve had a frustrating day today. You may know that I’ve started dressmaking again after a gap of maybe 25 0r 30 years. I used to be quite good at making clothes, but I’ve lost a lot of the skills I had. My new sewing machine makes me feel like a real dope and everything takes ages.
As well as machines ‘improving’ and becoming more high tech, patterns have changed. Back in the day, you carefully measured yourself to pick the right pattern size, but not anymore, now a pattern has six sizes and you have to negotiate the right one of a bunch of converging lines for your size.
I may be too old to re-learn all this! Or this!
