A Grand Day Out

 


We're staying at my son's where the local train gets to London Bridge in 3 minutes just right for Saturday's visit to the Fashion and Textile Museum set up by Zandra Rhodes where there was a show of Kaffe Fassett quilts not from his books but by different makers from all over the world. There was a wide variety of styles showing the versatility of the Collective (Fassett, Mably and Jacobs). 

Hedge of Protection by Kitty Sorgen




I am a particular fan of Brandon Mably and am just finishing up a top made in his phenomenal Fish fabric which has a 36" repeat. I have yet another colourway of it to explore.



After this it was on to the Tate to view the Cezanne Show. I became a member especially to get in easily. The current installation in the Turbine Room was a textile piece, Cecilia Vicuna's Brain Forest Quipu.
