Traverse at Uttoxeter

Traverse exhibited recently at the British Quilt & Stitch Village at Uttoexeter Racecourse.  You can read about the exhibition on the Traverse website.

Our theme has been Destinations and the work I exhibited at Uttoxeter was the same work shown at the NEC that I wrote about here.

Venice Tiles

The show was much smaller than the NEC but we spoke to far more people and received much more feedback from visitors.

On the last day I was approached by 4 different people who want to book me to teach the technique I used for the Venice tiles.  They all promised to email me so I'll have to wait and see if it happens.  I'm feeling excited, flabbergasted and terrified all at the same time.

Thanks for joining me today.

Verse Mapping 2

This is going to be a short post today.   As I mentioned in my first post on verse mapping, we are using it as a theme for April in our EveryDay Journals & Living your word of the year group.

This time I looked at Zephaniah 3:17

I love the thought that God is singing over each one of us.

Thanks for joining me today.
