Mo ghra thu (I love you) series

Some new 'Mo ghra thu (I love you)' pieces destined for Kaleidoscope in Westport and the Cork Textiles Network stand at the Knitting and Stitching Show in the RDS.

The Knitting & Stitching Show, Oct 09 at the RDS

Just back from my trip to Dublin to the RDS Knitting & Stitching Show. I went along on Friday for the whole day with my sister and friends. Although it was uncomfortably hot in the hall, I still had a great day. My favourite part of the day is seeing the UK and Irish graduates' work and the exhibitions by guilds and professional artists. I loved the humour of Cindy Hickok's work (http://www.artists-galleries.com/). And was blown away by the work of Kim Thittichai (http://www.kimthittichai.com/). I was seduced by the selection of fabrics and prices at Rosenberg's stall and I got some lovely stuff for cushion covers at much better prices than I can get in Galway (http://www.mrosenbergandson.com/). And a day at K&S would not be complete without buying a book or two at Art Van Go (http://www.artvango.co.uk/) along with some 'inkaid' to experiment with printing on fabrics. Can't wait to get cracking on some new work now...so watch this space.
