Crayon and ink, work from the early 1950s |

Carol looked along the Serpentine to the bridge -
Najlaa looked at Luchita's "moth lights" and other patterns -
Extra-curricular activities
Mags brought along photos of her work as shown in
Meanwhile, the EDAM course show -
and also her workbooks, including how the colours of the tabs on the layered maps, based on her train stitching, relate to the train ticket -
She had printed one of the layered maps onto a cloth bag [I'm itching to extend some of those lines with a bit of stitch...] -
While away on holiday Joyce has been stitching -
