Is beautifully free of tourists!
I am still sewing….. but have been using much of my time to set up the new website of textile groups and tutors in the UK.

Home
Wooler in Northumberland on a glorious summers morning.
I live about a mile to the left….. couldn’t live anywhere else really.
We’ve been here for 19.5 years.
Hard to believe its been that long.
Almost half our lives.

Rose petals
Deadheading roses - always seems so sad in one way, though of course it needs to be done.
Gertrude Jekyll is doing well this year.

Just LOOK at those colours.

World Textile Day - Part 3
The Slow Loris stand had these beautiful Chinese baby Carrier panels.
I saw these last year but could only afford a small piece…
They are created using the most intricate batik.
Just look at the intricate details.
The “pop” of colour is perfect.

World Textile day - Part 2
Textile Traders had a beautiful selection of things to tempt.
I seem to be having a bit of an “indigo moment"
Shibori panels
Chinese apron straps
Thai handwoven silk scarf

Last, but not least, Lotus printing blocks.

World Textile Day - Part 1a
I admit, I was photographing the other items from the world textile day,
when I couldn’t resist photographing the Indian toran again (with the “proper” camera, not just the iPad).
So here we are…enjoy.
