Sara sent me this image of one of her quilts called Alternative Colour Chart. Hopefully you can click up the size to see why she called it that.

This piece is going up in the exhibition in Woodbridge library to morrow for the rest of the month. Called it Dark Dance what I should really have said was Shadow Dance!

It was interesting to see this Boetti piece done 30 0dd years ago[his work is showing in Tate Modern]. Compared with piece done by Gavin Turk done recently.

new plan

This is my Plan B blog and was meant to record my stitching efforts, but somehow I have consolidated on Chillsider. But I like this title and the feeling of guilt [after so many years I am comfortable with that] so anyway New Year, New Plan.

I shall endeavour to make it a picture blog. I often download [upload what's the difference pics to stimulate the jaded palate so I will stick them on here.

The Wensleydale wool was knitted up on holiday in Swaledale, felted at 90 degrees, much too hot apparently so it is pretty thick and solid.

Stitched one of the Yorkshire many waterfalls into it. Dunno how to mount it.

Did a hand stitching class which turned into an on-going group [hurray, nice people and a whole days stitching once a fortnight with no interruptions. Didn't learn many stitches but did relax and enjoyed just straight stitching this Space Dancer. I think Dance is becoming my theme...............]

This was also started at the class, messing around on a piece of rug canvas with strips of fabric and then zig zagging over with the machine. Worked quite well but the pose of the Woman Warrior is rather strange.
