I have been stitching this week on a new larger textile piece.
Again, I have referred to my sketch book as my starting point, where I recorded how the light and shadows played between the olive trees in Cimiez, Nice.
I felt in awe of the landscapes magical beauty, as the light streamed in, reminding me of a colourful stained glass window in a church.
I have many hours of stitching ahead of me, hand and machine.
Madeira threads contacted me this week and offered to sponsor me in threads for my exhibition at The Herbert Art Gallery.
To say I'm excited by this prospect is an understatement, when you know my obsession with threads!!

I always enjoy to see your work and this one looks like a watercolor painting with softness (I'm not sure that's the good word!) and lightness
Madeira threads have made a very smart move! Well done you.
I looks so beautiful! And to be supplied with threads is a VERY good thing! Enjoy that....
