Here is the
start of the new module – Applique.

| Applique inspired by Baldishol Tapestry |
Not a lot
to show as yet, apart from the design and a few appliquéd pieces but I somehow
think that this will keep me out of mischief for a wee while! The inspiration is the Norwegian Baldishol Tapestry - thought to date from about the same era as the more well known (in England!) Bayeux tapestry. Sadly only remnants remain in The Oslo Museum of Applied Art.
I am also back on the voluntary work – repairing the church furnishings. A pulpit fall that was used over Advent was noticed to be a little bit in need of repair.
