This is the Brand New
Blog about Textile Treasury, a Brand New Venture for Sue and Lynne,
textile loving friends who decided just before Christmas, that they might like
to do a couple of craft fairs together at some point.
Enter 2012 and WOW!
Suddenly, we are booked for a really good craft fair (more about which later),
have a face book presence, a twitter account (don't ask me) and embryonic
web and blog-sites! How did that happen???
Well, I'll tell you how
it happened. Sue waved her magic wand, uttered an incantation (she does that a
lot......) and lo, it was so. Or that's how it seemed to me. It will rapidly
become clear to you, Dear Reader, that I am NOT the techie one. However I'd
hate you to think my sole contribution is a hastily penned blog post. Not at
all. Just not the techie stuff. I suspect though, that some of Sue's expertise
will rub off on me somewhere along the line. I'm really hoping so.
Sue and I are old
friends from quite different backgrounds - administration for Sue and the Health
Service for me. We have both experimented with a variety of arts and crafts,
but eventually settled comfortably with stitch - whether with yarn, thread or
fibre, using paper, fabric and other interesting substrata. Along the line we've
both taught, exhibited and sold our work, supported the Quilters Guild and
local quilting groups, and we now belong to a six strong group of like-minded
women called Stitch 'n Bitch. I promise you there is more of one than the other
goes on at our monthly meeting!
So, that's a little
about us, next post I'll include a little more background, some more pics, and
more news about Textile Treasury. I hope you will bear with us through the
first faltering steps of blogging, come back and see us again, and trust me to
get it right next time. Or the time after that.......
