Some of the BBs will recognize these beach huts at Budleigh Salterton. We spent some glorious days here, drawing and stitching. The pebbles are very inspirational. I hope to do some work from them.

Suited ideas from Susi..



Thinking ahead to the BB Exhibition 'Suited' for next year (even though we have 2 BB Exhibitions coming up in June - 'Curiously Enough' at Ruskin Mill, Nailsworth and 'Mending my Ways' at Musgrove Hospital, Taunton - I started to look more closely at the beautiful fabric donated to us from the tailor's ... such subtle weaves.
Decided to make some brooches and buttons and play with some scraps, threads and beads as it is holiday time!
