First of all...I should apologise...
...to all those lovely ladies who commented on my previous (ranting) post....
...and who haven't had a reply.
Himself......computer geek Numero Uno.....managed to wreck the internet hub...
...apparently the technical term is "bricked"....
...so I haven't had a lappy to use for a few days.
So.....a big SORRY ...
...and also a big THANK YOU for the sentiments expressed!!!
I had intended to compose a rather more "positive" blog post a bit sooner than this, but......bricks etc got in the way :-o
...but, just to let you all know that I'm out of the mood I was well and truly in...
..and have brushed myself off ready to make a start on new things.
Loads to be done over the next few weeks too!....
...so I've begun work on a couple of workshop pieces for 2013.
For Festival of Quilts, a "Mini-art-quilt" entitled "Oceanic Journey"...
...complete with Moko manikin....
...and some Rongorongo writing...
I've got a couple of delightful wooden print blocks to go with the stitching too...
Should be fun!
(All I have to do now is get the proposal off to the organiser!)
Hopefully I can then work on a scaled-up version for another workshop date.
The "mini" version is only 30 x 30cms, whereas the other will be slightly different and measure approx 60 x 40cms (with a bit more hand-stitching involved).
I did so enjoy my workshops at Harrogate!
...and had a lovely e-mail from one student who kindly sent me a piccy of here finished project.
Her hubby has even put it up on the wall for her ...a bit of a miracle seemingly, so he MUST have been impressed with her handiwork!!
Quite right too! Well done Karen! :-)
Now it's time to get back on that sewing machine......
