Pour L' Amour Du Fil, Nantes, France

 
 
What an experience!
 
 
 
 

 
 
My work was places on the stage at the entrance to the show.
 
 
All the staff having a good time at the cocktail party.
 
 

Teaching

 
Embroiderers Guild AGM
 
 
As there were no machines available to use, and each class had just two hours to complete a project. I decided to make some felt flower bases to be embellished with stitch and beads.

 
 
 
Making Space, Havant
 
 
I had a class of eight ladies who had six hours to design and produce an embroidered brooch. Each lady produced a unique piece.

I do not speak French and the ladies did not speak English, but with the help of an interpreter we got there. It is amazing how hands and facial expression can speak 1000 words.


 
The star of the day.

I was asked to exhibit three pieces of work for this exhibition,and the Hare was just an idea in my head when I excepted the offer.
