This is just a quick post - it has been a very busy day. This show is SO good, such an amazing collection of textile artists, college stands, textile groups and so much more - I am so lucky to be there. It has been a great opportunity to catch up with friends that I haven't seen for a while - Claire Muir is one of them. Claire's work is stunning - she creates the most beautiful corsages, headpieces, fascinators - what ever you need. Most of Claire's work is for weddings and special occasions and made to order. I was mesmerised by the exquisite work and the way she had displayed it on her stand.    This is free machine embroidery in stunning form. For more information about Claire go to her website http://www.clairemuir.co.uk/index.asp .

Back to the real world . . .

I don't know where Monday went, I think I was a bit tired after FOQ. I need to be very organised today. I have to plan the next week, I am leaving to teach at Art Van Go for 3 days tomorrow and after that I go straight up to Redditch to teach 3 one day workshops at Inkberrow Design Centre   . . .  aarrgGHHH!!!!   inkberrowdesigncentre.co.uk/workshops I seem to be living out of a suitcase at the moment. I'm looking forward to spending some quality time with Viv and Kevin at Art Van Go, I hardly saw them at the show we were all so busy. I will also get a chance to catch up with my very good friend Brenda Killigrew when I teach for her on Sunday, Monday & Tuesday. Watch out Redditch - we will be out on the town. The Craftynotions stand - no one would stand still for a photo, they were all being very silly . . . I think we were all delirious
