If you're reading this on www.planet.textilethreads.com, apologies for the repeat. I decided to do a bit of editing and before I could do so, the spider grabbed this post for the textilethreads web. So here's some more about the River exhibition.
Usually the quilter's work incorporates or is inspired by the work of the photographer, but it worked both ways in this exhibition. Tony and I made work for it independently, and a couple of weeks before hanging the show we decided what pieces to put in. It was October and the gallery was near the canal, and on a walk there Tony saw some reflections that, he says, had he not seen "Blown Away", he wouldn't have noticed. He went back with his camera and the result is "Autumn1" and "Autumn2", a couple of the most commented-on images in the show.
"Underwater 3" has become my favourite of his photos from the show.

LOVE the undercurrents pieces Margaret. Really inspiring as I have been working with colour and stripes a lot lately and I like the piecing and stitch in these.
