The morning came around far too fast.Is it really daylight? Yes, indeed it is. Exhausted, I fell back to sleep and woke a short time later having dreamed a ridiculous dream that stayed with me all day!I was hoping for sunshine, but no, it was still raining and the light wasn't going to be good…

Lost it.
Thats what you get for not finishing the blog. GONE, Disappeared. I saved it as a draft last night because it was so late. Now its gone. So hopefully I can do another blog as travel today and share.
Christ Church Tiles
This is the link for the images of the tiles in Christ Church Good morning all. The day has dawned sunny and bright, streaming through my window around 4.00 am. The internet in my room is too slow to do the blogs, so it means showering and dressing and coming down to the lobby for coffee and…

Creating a quilt.

Textiles at the British Museum
I did find some interesting textiles at the Museum and thought you might like to see them. These pots are stunning, it appears as if they are broken porcelain covered with digitally printed fabric and stitched back into place. How amazing, stunning is the word. I stood for ages studying this wonderful garment. Hand appliquéd…
