deloraine visit

A few weeks ago I went to the north of the state for a few days to the lovely town of Deloraine. While I was there I had to go and see the hand sewn silk panels. These four panels take up the entire wall of the auditorium and have been hand sewn using a huge array of materials and stitches . They depict the town and surrounding areas history. There was so much to see in each piece I could have stayed for hours.

spinning paper 2

I have been spinning more types of paper lately. I had a go at toilet paper. This was easier to spin that it was to knit. It tended to want to break easily if I was not very gentle while spinning.
