Fabulous work. We are coming down to St Ives on the 20th. Will come in to see you on the 21st. I'll bring my fabric book of the sea to show you, as a few pages were inspired by you. Look forward to meeting you next week.

These are lovely - so colourful and happy! Is it these that you're going to stitch into or something else? The textures are incredible - is the linen gessoed? Sorry - too many questions when you're obviously very busy. I wish you all the best for the exhibition and just wish I could get all the way down there to see it and meet you.

Hi, I hope next year, if I only know the days of your show, I will be able to come and see your beautiful works! It's not that far from Poland to Cornwall :)
