I committed myself back in May to entering two pieces plus some cards into the Embroiderers' Guild SW region exhibition "Waterways" in Gloucester, confident I would have them finished well before the children broke up from school so I could do some more coursework. I hasn't quite worked out as I expected. First, I lost the little bag that I had managed to finish (and found it several days later in the place I had first looked), then I decided I didn't like the second piece once it was finished. What to do? Fortune favours the brave so I grabbed the scissors, cut it into three pieces and remounted onto 3 small square artists' canvases. Much improved. All the bits are now safely packed up and ready to be delivered.
School broke up on Friday so I don't expect to get much done in the next 6 weeks.

Hi, Jane. Sometimes being brave and brandishing the scissors is the only thing to do. I keep lots of "rubbish" samples in hope that at some point a fresh idea and a pair of scissors may turn them into something great! My two break up tomorrow (Wednesday) and my God-Son is coming to stay overnight so no work for me. Hoping to get something done, but usually see this time as holiday from coursework and I do some quilting, I have an applique to complete so that should keep me busy especially whilst travelling on holiday to Lake District.
Have a great holiday
Best wishes Alison
Isn't it always the way when you loose something you find it where you could have sworn you'd looked in the first place. Good luck with your exhibition pieces.
