I’m late posting this week – it’s been frantically busy and will get busier. Tonight is the opening of our exhibition, and I’ve been spending most of my time framing and mounting things to show (and that’s a job I hate) Here’s the poster for the show – as you can see, it's a group show with contributions from many of my artistic friends and neighbours. I think the poster turned out very well
The poster for our show
Strathdon is the area where we live – it's not a village, more of a collection of isolated glens and moors. But it's home to a surprising number of artists and craftsmen
But just to keep the embroidery design theme going, I thought I’d give you a link to Cherri’s blog, where she’s posted about one of her recent embroidered quilts. Do have a look at it – it’s a real work of art. OK, you’d expect me to like it because I drew and digitised most of the designs that she uses, but that’s the easy part. The way she’s put everything together, the stitching and in particular the colours and fabrics she’s chosen makes this a really spectacular work
See it on her blog entry for the 14th of November at
Cheri’s work is beautiful and amazing as always. The two of you together are an awesome team! I especially like the way she did the birds standing on each other’s backs.
Best wishes for the exhibit!
