so excited..

hurrah hurrah, the programme for this years Stroud International Textiles Festival has just come out. As always there are some stunning exhibits and talks. Jo and I were particularly keen on the studio seven interactive exhibition last year and i am delighted to see they are back this year in a bigger venue and also doing a workshop. Also showing this year is Matthew Harris, who does embroidered pieces (i love his work, i find it particularly pleasing to see this type of textile work being seriously exhibited as 'art', having done a degree in embroidery at Manchester many moons ago!) I think the Giffords circus costume talk will be high on our list too (we are terribly sad they aren't touring this year)
