Happy New Year everyone – I hope 2015 is an
enjoyable year for you all.
The Christmas
holidays here have just finished and the children are back to school today and
so a form of normality reigns – even if we still need to remove the Christmas
tree and pack all the decorations back into their boxes – I’m sure it will be
all finished before Easter...

2015 is going to be
a wonderfully busy one for me. Looking
back, my life seems to run in 2 year cycles – one manic year, following by one
of recovery. This is definitely a manic
one! It starts with a solo exhibition at
the Scottish Storytelling Centre

In March our
C&G students from the Studio Loch Lomond Quilt Show have an exhibition at
the new Stitching and Quilting Show at the SECC, Glasgow. I am hoping to run a couple of taster
workshops there too.

Then I have my
exhibition at Farfield Mill from 21 March to 10 May. I’m super-excited about this since I visited
the space and have lots of ideas of how I’m going to use it.
Also [MEGA NEWS] I’m
intending to be teaching from my home studio from April onwards – a variety of
textile based classes – lots more information soon as I firm up on the details,
buy the desks etc.
Finally, as if all
this wasn’t sufficient, I am exhibiting at the European Patchwork Meeting in
Alsace in September. It is a fantastic
show and I know there are lots of other amazing makers showing their work too,
so it would be well worth a visit.
Then around the end
of November, I will collapse again in time for next year’s Christmas season.
It is such an
exciting year for me – I hope you will be joining me on this great
journey. For those who dislike it, I apologise for using the ‘J’ word, but it really feels that way for me this year!

Intrigued by the pojagi-like Goddess!
It is rather pojagi-like - I hadn't consciously considered it - it is the same technique as my other goddesses - just with transparent fabric and a lot of bondaweb - all machined too, so no beautiful seaming - maybe that should be the next step
Congratulations on your upcoming exhibits, Gillian. What a great year you have ahead of you!
Thanks Margaret. It's lovely that I can share the work in person as well as online
What a year you have ahead of you. I love the sheers you are using on your goddess.
Happy and successful New Year.
Thanks Maggi. I'm enjoying working with the sheers, although the iron has taken a bit a battering with sheers and fusible web!
