projects

don't know if you remember the sample

of the soldier I did

to be able to stitch on the community project

for the Battle of Lewes Tapestry

two panels are worked on at once

in the Castle Museum

we work for 1-2 hours at a time

there will eventually be 5 panels

and will be hung in the museum

this is a very bad photo of the

design

this was taken weeks ago

so much more has been done

should take more photos

I am so thrilled to be a part of this!

it is planned to be finished in two years! yikes......

that's a lot of stitching

I also participated in a "craft" show in Brighton last weekend

not much success, I have to admit......

but thought my table look quite fetching!

(if I do say so myself)

see the whitish birds with the brown/orange tips?

they are a pearlized white but I burnt them in the oven!

they came out with these golden tips with gold flecks

a fantastic mistake

my friend from Get Felt had her felted bags there too

all sorts of things have been going on here......

I went to a class at West Dean

that place is a.maze.ing!

such a beautiful house and the college

has a huge range of classes

all run so well

I took a class by Julie Arkell

who is an artist I have admired for a long time

she is such a warm and friendly person

and has fabulous personal style!

I also went into the tapestry studio there

it is one of the last working tapestry studios in the UK

so cool!

they had just finished making 4 pieces for Tracey Emin!

wish I could have seen them

but then again......if they were still working on them

we wouldn't have been able to go in the studio to see them anyway

let's see.......what else is going on?

oh yes

I'm shutting down my studio

because

we are moving

to the US

sometime

fairly soon

happy, excited, scared, anxious,

all at once!

thank you so much for checking in

an hello to the new people who have
