Just Starting

18/01/2009 by Sarah.

This is my first blog, so I must start by thanking Kevin for showing me the ropes! Last week started with a busy weekend. My daughter Ashley joined me for a workshop at Bearwood College run by Kim Thittichai of “Hot Textiles” fame, and we produced some useful design work on the theme “Journeys.” Anna and I went to the quilt sale at Farnham on Sunday, and I collected the last bits of fabric for the projects I am working on. ( and a bit more!) It was useful to meet local people with similar interests and to see some of their current work. There were certainly bargains to be had. You may see these later in my container (based on a landscape) and the Loose Threads challenge piece. On Tuesday I was offered more work at school for the next two terms, so I had to rethink my C&G plans. I am just completing my first year, so I will try to take up the second year when I have my new timetable in September. I am teaching “Portraits ” to Year 7 this term, and on Friday I organised a trip to Southampton City Art Gallery for the year group. The paintings were inspirational, and I would recommend a visit to anyone working on this subject  at the moment. That includes me of course, so I had better get back to it! Sarah
