Being able to continue with the momentum on the Bayeux is really important. 2 months ago I had prepared work to finish when I returned home. I finished that yesterday and then began new drawings…The work I finished off was a little confusing to me because I had to keep referring to my drawings and…

Problem solved.
Its been 2 months since I worked physically on my project. I had a panel of the applique prepared, but its been really hot while I’ve been away and I imagine the studio became hot and dry. I got out the prepared applique today and found that the glue was very dry and when I…

The most amazing thing.
I’m a little uncomfortable about sharing this incident, however, it is part of the story I’m working on right now so I figured I need to add it to my documentation. The past few days I’ve been creating the two altars hiding reliquary that are symbolized on the Bayeux Tapestry. My son, Jamie, friend Carolyn…
The next panel.
…TOOK THE OATH TO DUKE WILLIAM – HERE DUKE HAROLD… This is the most detailed – facially – of the figures depicting William in the Tapestry: and his seated figure is majestic and over-sized, similar to the scenes where a seated king Edward bulks larger than other mortals around him.

William and Harold – the sharing of war Ideas.
HAS GIVEN HAROLD ARMS – HERE WILLIAM HAS COME TO BAYEUX – WHERE HAROLD… The pennon on Harold’s spear proclaims him a knight. He had agreed to aid William in his rights in England. In William’s mind he was looking forward to the crown: Harold could not have believed such a thing, and probably felt…

It seems I’ve just got started back on my gem and I have to stop for a week because I’m away teaching.However, on a positive note, I’ve just completed another 12 feet. There were two castles in that 12 feet and I really enjoyed the process. Of…
My Fusible web Problem – An exerpt from my general daily blog.
Another day of experimenting with the fusible web. Last night I prepared a couple of horses and riders on Vliesofix. I was able to purchase some yesterday from a local quilt store. Vliesofix is a German product but was not sold in the USA under that name. Many of my friends tried to buy it…
