Rainbow Week

I found the most colourful cake ever in Teacup in Manchester!  Their rosebud tea was the best I have tasted too.

This was a little slice I brought back with me of their Rainbow Cake made like a Battenburg Cake with marzipan.

A guest arrived with a “scarf” which kept breaking. It turned out to be wool roving, so I took it apart according to colour groups.

And began to felt it in the laundry room adding a few sparkly threads in the same colours.

It was a messy process as some colour shed in the boiling soapy water.

I made it as lightweight as I dared so it would wrap well like a normal scarf.

It was gorgeously soft.

The Fairy Tale blocks are bonded ready to sew in Autumn evenings.

I have made a start on the “In Full Bloom” stitcheries.

My thought for the week:
