December already! Having had a great weekend at Great Missenden being inspired by African Textiles, I'm now working hard on a stole and lectern fall for the hospital chapel. The fabric was a donation and it is proving really hard to handle; it took me 3 hours just to get the piece framed up. We're getting some work done at home and my continuous wait for workmen is getting under my skin - just can't settle at anything for the moment.I'm branching out to participate in an exhibition next summer on the theme "reaching beyond". You can see the themes, artists and other information at the website Reaching Beyond. I was told to provide names for the work on show and enlisted assistance from my grandaughter. I'm sure I'll be testing out ideas and patterns with my friends at the Branch.
Speaking of the MK Branch, Lucille is now safely arrived in Ledbury and says she will start her own blog to keep in touch! Our Branch is now booked into the MK Gallery Project Space from 6th - 30th December 2012 for an exhibition of Chair's Challenge pieces. We'll also be holding a sit and sew session on Saturday, 17th March to get some experience of working with visitors to the Gallery. Next week I'm meeting the organiser at the University Centre MK to discuss options for exhibiting work there - will keep you posted.
