New carpet and re-living old pieces of work.

 I am having such a sort out and chuck out! The room is painted and the new carpet went down. I have been through all my books - more for the charity shop - Alan is refitting the book shelves. I have been through so many files of old teaching notes and even my City and Guild Embroidery Files (I studied part one and two from 1986-1991) So it has been a trip down memory lane. This is a quilt I made in 1991 when I got glandular fever that led to my M.E. I couldn't do anything except sit in bed and stitch a bit. I could never sell it because it holds that memory. You can do something despite the odds. (The see-saw was well and truly down Fiona)

 It is painted silk with wax resist and all hand stitched kantha style.
I also found the artwork that began the piece. Still lots more sorting out to do.
