I am working hard for the next exhibition - at Nottingham Society of Artists, a big gallery in the middle of Nottingham. As well as transferring the things from Nature in Art, I am doing a second piece based on my "Workhouse Memories" breakdown print - this one is a lap blanket that could have been made by a granddaughter in service for a grandmother who ended up in the workhouse - mounted on a much-mended blanket, which I've dyed, with applique using scraps of fabric (including lots of worn out collars and cuffs) that might otherwise have been thrown away. Nearly finished - I should manage to get it done (at least to a temporary stage) tomorrow. But may well add more bits or more embroidery later!
