Margaret Cooter, you were in Norfolk and you didn't come to visit me and my shed???????????? Tut.
ReplyDeleteI love this sculpture, and the poses. I often do the same thing. Lovely blog. I will be in England this summer at the Birmingham show. Laura Wasilowski and I are vending there with lots of hand dyed fabrics and threads. Please let all your quilt friends know.
