Wonderful Claire Onslow from Standen, she was the one who listened to my plan for the Townscape project and organised the children's drawing day last year. And for the six months my quilt , based on those drawings, has been on a bed in one of the beautiful bedrooms.
Thank you to all at Standen, you are wonderful !
Christmas stairs at Standen
and today several of the Thursday lot, finished or nearly finished their Winnifred Nicholson influenced images, they are brave and beautiful, and I am very impressed !
It would be nice to have a conservatory like this wouldn't it ?
Stunning African masks
Amazing dolls from Africa and beyond
wooden bowls and amazing cast bronzes from Benin
A strange beastie and what is he up to waving his hands about ?
Anyway do go and have a look at the amazing Horniman Museum, from East Croydon to London bridge on the slow train, get out at Forrest Hill station, it's totally brilliant !
It was the end of the Townscape project and I collected the Quilt from Carol and her husband who have displayed it in the window of their haberdashery shop called Thread Needles in East Grinstead, for all of the 6 months of the project, Thank you so much Carol it was very kind and it was so nice for everybody to see the quilt.
More on the Horniman tomorrow
No we didn't eat the little beastie for lunch, we did have chips however !
