Bit of a gallivant...

Today the Textile Maids went on a little outing to the Lander Gallery, Truro to visit the Stuck and Stitched Exhibition. Needless to say we started with coffee, which lead to booking a table and pre-ordering lunch to be ready at a specified time, all very well organized and efficient and a very delicious lunch arrived at stated time after a look around the exhibition.

Enough about feeding the body, time to feed the mind...here are some photos with kind permission from the gallery owner...

I found this an inspiring exhibition, not much 'stitch' to be found but I loved the collages using paper, newsprint and cardboard, it's definitely worth a visit.

Hope you enjoyed this little taster, there is much more on display in the gallery such as jewellery, pottery, paintings etc.

Bye for now
