Drawing on fabric from nature – capture and create.

The Bayeux Discipline – my passion.
My discipline is that I’ve set myself the task to work for 10 hours a day on my Bayeux Project for seven days a week. Physically it’s demanding. Emotionally it’s exciting and to be really honest this quilt is completely different to the sample piece. Its 236 feet of sheer delight for me. Like many of you, I’m having a problem seeing the fine details so I have an appointment at the optician tomorrow.
Sharing my work – my ideas.
Now that I’m home I’m back working on the illustrations I did while traveling. I’ve been home a day now and I’m moving fast because I’m only home for a short time.

Observations and Exercises.
The Lady is called Catherine, she worked for two months and made this embroidery from 4 panels woven on the backstop loom. I visited the family and bought her delightful piece. Thats the beginning of the story, part of the tory behind the quilt. The end will be when I finish and share the quilt.
Tacos, translators and Texture.
We have another man in class who is incredibly funny and the day rolled past with bursts of hilarity and small episodes of quiet concentration. I wonder if other Tutors have taken a class with a translator at their side and two cameramen following their every move.
I admire the ladies so much.
Each person created an individual design. I just smile when the excitement hits on the second day, “I can really do this”
Capture and create a video of beautiful Australian images to tempt the Quilter.
I photograph and film wherever I travel, this is a small film I made in Sydney. Of course there is the wonderful texture of the Opera House and beautiful paintings from the Gallery.
Oh Grandma, your soldiers are just gorgeous. – Bayeux
So says Master 4.
Thank you. He and I studied soldiers and ships today. He was fascinated that they had to chop down trees to build the ships. It’s a great story to share with little people.
