A big thank you to everyone who came to see the exhibition and were so kind with your comments. Annabel and I were so excited to bring together this collection of work and I hope there was something inspirational for everyone.
Bye for now,

It was truly inspiring - wish I had had more time to absorb it all. Where next?
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for taking the time to post this. I wasn't able to make it up so it's great to see what I missed! Though now I am gutted that I didn't make it as it looks fabulous! 😊 k3n x

ReplyDeleteSimply stunnung exhibition! And the performance pieces are fascinating and a brilliant idea! I'll be in England next year and plan attending the quilt festival. Looking forward to seeing your work on display!
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking such wonderful pictures and sharing, the work is all very inspiring, such a diversity of ideas and subjects and it makes you realise all ideas are acceptable, there is no wrong or right, things can have a personal message or meaning or abstract images can work just as well.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this and every other, wonderful opportunity you've made possible. I've linked this blog post to one of mine. You are brilliant, kind, fun, and very very generous!
