I finally cracked it




Crack in the Universe


The title of this year's Prism show was Fracture - and I confess it left me shattered. I finished my second entry at 1am, just 11 hours before it was due to be handed in at the gallery - to which I hobbled in a surgical boot having fractured my foot.

Other tribulations on the way included lines of stitching in monofilament that then unravelled, and a glass of red wine spilt all over the fluffy white clouds (I'm not saying who was responsible but divorce lawyers have been consulted!).

And so I am stepping back from textiles for a while to concentrate on my real garden and to cultivate my other interests.

This blog will be taking a rest too. Thank you to those who have popped in over the past few years...
