I should have posted the exhibition flyer on my blog much sooner than this, but time and internet access the last 10 days in Australia got away from me. Still you are invited to come and see the wonderful 137 embroidered sentinelles that have been embroidered and stitched and even mosaiced by many women- les brodeuses!
To say I am absolutely gobsmacked by the invention and imagination is an understatement and seems to be the general opinion of everyone who has visited except for one lady who didn't like all that "textile stuff"- I guess she worked in hardened steel lol!
So I will share a general view or two with apologies for the lack of names ( I will get around to marrying the makers names with images when i have time)
And some more detailed photos ( if you are on FB Elizabeth Dubbelde from Berry Patchwork, where the sentinelles will be shown later this year is doing a great job of showing each image)
I know the bottom left is Bronwyn Cooling and unfortunately when I zoom in on the photo the writing is not clear enough to see the names- so my apologies.
It has been busy, firstly installing the exhibition and then minding it every day. Fortunately it has been helped along by the awesome sponsorship of threads by Aurifil Threads who have sent me some gorgeous Mako 30 cotton threads so that i can get going on the sewing machine. I could not fit any threads into my suitcase coming over here so it is much appreciated!
And spring is springing here, daily more flowers open their petals and the colours are changing and the sunshine has been gorgeous! I love this bare paulownia tree ( I think that is what it is) in my friends garden
I am lucky to have a space to exhibit at MJC Palaiseau and I seem to have brought just the right amount of work for the space. I wanted to share this video of the lovely impromptu singing by Delaney Nguyen-Xuan and her mother Christine Skarie singing a traditional French Canadian and is called "C'est Dans le Mois de Mai".
And last but not least- my friend Christine Moulin has the funniest cat- so yes I am joining the minions of cat video loaders because this tail cleaning routine had us all laughing!
That's it for a few days!
