Thank you to the @peacemuseumuk for giving me access to some amazing banners from the Greenham Common Peace Camp today. Lots of inspiration for my current project #batextilespractice @bradfordtextiles #greenhamcommonpeacecamp #thaliacampbell #ban
Looking forward to spending time with the work of the @the62group tomorrow as I take my turn at invigilating their exhibition at Salts Mill. #textileart #62grouptextileartists
Experimenting with juxtaposition. No quilts were harmed in this experiment. #canadianredcrossquilt #greenhamcommonbanner #armybarracks #textileproject3 #batextilespractice @bradfordtextiles
Another great session at the BQSG seminar. @joethequilter took us through his Quilting Life. Lots of inspiration for the future. Thanks to @thequiltersguild and #qgbibqsg
Excellent talk from Helen of the @bradfordtextiles to the British Quilt Study Group seminar. We’ll be visiting the archive for a study day in the Spring. #quiltersguildbqsg @thequiltersguild #britishquiltstudygroup
An excellent morning diving into the Quilters Guild Collection to look at three of their Canadian Red Cross quilts. Each with a story to tell, we know a little but it would be lovely to know more. @thequiltersguild #batextilespractice @bradfordtext

New Year - targets - pah! Reflections on the year past.

beanz
A year on and I have not achieved either of my running targets for the year.

Nor lost weight - in fact I am probably heavier than a year ago.

I have not completed a race this year.

What have I achieved?
  • completed a year and a term back in teaching
  • .........
  • .........
I am not sure what I could put in the blanks. I am still here and have a healthy family - so anything else would be bonus I guess.

We have to go on, so yet again I shall start the year trying to eat healthily. I can't have any running targets until I am fit to run. I see the phyzz tomorrow and will talk to her about what is the most sensible way to get back to running (in addition to the obvious of losing weight).

Eddy - RIP
