<span style="color: #783f04;">A flying one day visit to the festival, very strange being there and not working, someone else sitting in my seat ! (Mary McIntosh) but great to see so many old friends and a chance to catch up with no pressure. Here are just a few of the pieces that caught my eye.</span><br />

And here are 2 of Kelly's chairs beautifully upholstered in the sort of colours I have chosen. Can't wait to see what it looks like! Lovely to meet Kelly and her husband, so much to talk about, and what fun digging through the piles of fabrics choosing the ones to include.</span><br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05976613398454614769noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073730667111110343.post-23787836044958732892016-07-14T09:58:00.000+01:002016-07-14T09:58:36.028+01:00Quilt mystery<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #7f6000;">I recently went to have a look at this patchwork, a massive piece of tiny hexagons all in silk and still with the original papers tacked in. It had come to light quite by accident and acquired by a local lady who isn't really a stitcher but thought it looked too interesting to pass by. A textile historian may be able to date the fabrics - all silk! and the papers may give up some secrets, they look like they have been cut out of a London newspaper - possibly mid-Victorian but no dates found yet although some mention of Prince Albert in a Court Circular announcement and he died 1861.</span><br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05976613398454614769noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073730667111110343.post-9586084447953204402016-07-14T09:47:00.001+01:002016-07-14T09:47:43.429+01:00Quilts for Minerva<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #7f6000;">a few shots of the pieces I have sent off for the Sentinels Exhibition at the Minerva Arts Centre in Wales, the exhibition opens on 25th July and I do hope to be able to get to see all our work in situ, I think its going to be a great show. I have to admit though that its been a marathon effort to complete the 4 pieces! the biggest hurdle was actually getting going, once I had decided what to do it was straight forward but getting the initial ideas together was soooooooooo... difficult! Anyway done now and onwards and upward to the next challenge.</span><br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05976613398454614769noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073730667111110343.post-39503362200934803882016-07-07T13:48:00.004+01:002016-07-07T13:48:50.102+01:00More dungarees!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #783f04;">After my wonderful trip to New Zealand last year everything else seemed rather an anti-climax so after a year of re-assessing my life and assimulating recent changes - we now have 2 rather lovely grandsons and retirement looms on the horizon- I feel I can move forward. I have made a the decision to scale back my teaching commitments and all that goes with it and to concentrate more on my own creative work and spend more time with my family, particularly the little ones before they grow up and not need Nanny.</span><br />
<span style="color: #783f04;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #783f04;">I have been busy in the studio producing some new pieces for an exhibition in Wales with Anglia Textile Works from 25th July at the Minerva Arts Centre, these are going to be titled The Guardian pieces - working in series!</span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394;">Scene in Auckland, the flags advertising the Volvo Round the World Ocean Race, very exciting to see the boats out of the water being prepared for the next leg of the race starting on 15th March - Auckland to Brazil, a huge challenge. In fact the whole set up around the harbour area was most impressive with all kinds of activities relating to the race.

We have been in New Zealand for just over a week. We have spent time in Hawkes Bay sight seeing nd visiting friends, good visit to the Gannet Sanctuary at Cape kidnappers, a trip to Te Mata peak and a couple of wineries, now up in the Bay of Islands, beautiful scenery, a trip today to the most Northern Cape and along Ninety Mile beach including exciting sand boarding down the giant and dunes - Yes I did it!<br />

<span style="color: #0b5394;">seen while walking in the woods today lovely winter sunshine but low temperatures have made sure that the ice hasn't melted on the puddles - nice patterns though! It was good to get out in the fresh air </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">and away from the muddle at home, the boxes of teaching packs and fabrics sent to New Zealand at the beginning of January appear to be 'lost' so I have had to put a contingency plan into action to get enough stuff down under for my classes, not sure yet how its going to pan out, I will have to keep my clothes packing down to a minimum -not an easy task, I have never been very good at travelling light. Thinking about my boxes I just can't imagine where they have got to, they are obviously together somewhere so I just hope they actually appear before I get to my teaching venues.</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05976613398454614769noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073730667111110343.post-13781865502358426422015-01-15T14:28:00.001+00:002015-01-15T14:28:13.698+00:00Back again<span style="color: #3d85c6;">I'm afraid I have been very lax about keeping up my blog, thinking maybe that no-one is really interested in what I may or may not be doing, is blogging a purely self indulgent activity? or is it really a good way of communicating and keeping in touch - not really sure. </span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">From my ramblings you may have perceived that I am sort of facing a bit of a personal crisis about where am I going with my life - at 60 + should I be thinking of retiring or should I be ignoring time and forging ahead? I think honestly its time to concentrate on what is important to me. I have to prioritise and use my time wisely - I want to enjoy my home and family and spend time exploring my own creative endeavours which means my teaching commitments will have to be curtailed somewhat.</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">Having said all that I am busy getting ready for my epic trip to New Zealand, firstly for a holiday and then a teaching tour with the Embroiderers' Guild - watch this space! I have spent the last few weeks preparing teaching packs which have now been shipped to various destinations in NZ I am spending an anxious time watching the tracking details - they are on their way but haven't made it downunder yet! So here I am a bit like a headless chicken painting papers with transfer paints, printing synthetic satin and Kunin felt, making lists of threads and samples that I will need for the classes and trying to work out how few clothes I can get away with for a 6 week trip. SIX WEEKS! Suddenly it seems like its a long time to be away from home!</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">Anyway just enjoy this photo of me at Christmas with my gorgeous grandson Jake</span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #3d85c6;">We had a lovely day in London yesterday, a visit to the Tate Modern to see the Matisse- Cut Outs exhibition - brilliant and so inspiring! His work is so tactile so much like textiles - I can see a Quilt coming on. Amazingly I did make a Matisse quilt in 1997, see pic, which featured the dancers and some of his cut out work, I really must think about doing something to follow up on this. Afterwards we had a good lunch, it has to be done, at a greek restaurant on the embankment and then a visit to the tower to se the Poppy installation - extremely moving and more inspiration for textiles</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05976613398454614769noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073730667111110343.post-18984908937245474162014-08-17T10:03:00.001+01:002014-08-17T10:03:22.189+01:00designer shoes<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">Well I am back from the Festival of Quilts and have to say that it was pretty amazing to get such good results with my entries. Brilliant to have some real recognition for my work and I was overwhelmed with the reaction from my fellow quilters, thank you all for your congratulations and your kind words, it is very much appreciated. I have to admit that before the show I was feeling a bit 'down' and wondered whether the world really needs any more quilts (or wall hangings for that matter) but now I am spurred on to be creative!</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">I had such a good time at the show and met so many lovely people-briefly caught up with Cecile Whatman from Oz (Unique Stitching) and amazing to see Robyn from one of the classes at AQC in Melbourne, some ladies from NZ that I hope to be able to see again next spring on my ANZEG tour and a lovely Russian lady, Galina, who very kindly gave me a gift of a book on Russian Lace which she indicated could be a source for designs.</span><br />
