    I’ve been looking though some of your blog, thinking how much I love your work, and how much I’d love to have another go at weaving. Then looking at this page realised that we bought one of these pieces http://shirleytreasure.files.wordpress.com/2007/04/may-11th-190-quick-e-mail-view.jpg (might even be this one) at bazaar a couple of years ago. It hangs in our upstairs living room and looks fantastic.

  2. Wow! Thanks Tracy.
    It is lovely of you to get in touch. I am glad you are still enjoying the wall hanging….
    Cheers
    Shirley
