Exposition personnelle

Alors tout va bien et jusqu'aujourd'hui 8 tableaux sont vendus. Pas mal n'est-ce pas! Hier (jour de marché) beaucoup de visiteurs. La Salle juste avant le vernissage. Belle salle! L'expo se termine 26 ce samedi et je suis très contente avec la reçeption des visiteurs.
All is well re the exhibition and so far I have sold 8 pictures which I'm very happy about. This is the gallery just before the opening, beautiful space don't you think? Everybody has been very complimentary about my work.

Good exhibition so far with 4 embroideries sold to date. The opening evening was great with a full hall and lots of compliments.

Well after 5 weeks of Paris, England, the Pyrenées and a full house of children & grandchildren back to reality and lots of work preparation for a course here next week, my exhibition locally in Goudargues and two big regional days in the Landes and in Pau. About 250 backgrounds to prepare for the afternoon session of embroidery with the adhérents plus extra kits to sell.

Summer has been lovely and I thoroughly enjoyed being in Newcastle, Eng. where the weather was very kind to us and we picnicked on the beach at Whitley Bay. Here are some pics of two of our grandchildren who are simply lovely.

Still in Paris

With Lorette and Mimi in the gardens of the Palais Royale - or is it the Tuileries?! We went to both anyway.

Shop window selling shoes and ballet items near the Place Vendome.

Still enjoying our Paris sojourn and I don't think I've done so much walking for a long time. Had a lovely walk all round the Louvre area with Lorette and Mimi two stagiaires of mine who live in Paris and who have become good friends. Last night we went for dinner chez Marie-Noel another Parisien stagiaire. Lovely 11th floor flat she lives in with views towards La Defense.
Here are a couple more pictures.

In Paris

The Tuilleries by the Louvre and the Orangerie - having embroidered several aspects of these gardens they are quite special to me.


This is St Chapelle completely built it seems of huge stained glass windows - quite breathtaking.

We're on holiday now and enjoying our 'swap' appartment. We walk a great deal looking at things but having a fairly quiet day today with a concert on the Quay d'Orsay at 5.oopm. Here are some photos of one or two places visited.

Nous sommes en vacance à Paris et pendant beaucoup de promenades j'ai fait des photos bien sûr et voilà deux d'eux

What I've been up to

Just had no time to blog - courses here & away + a trip to England have kept me very busy. I'm happy to say that my piece was accepted for the Pfaff Art Embroidery Challenge so I shan't be seeing it again for at least a year.
As usual my courses here have been much appreciated from the point of view of Peter's cooking! He really pulled the stops out this last week - they wanted to pack him up and take him home!

The Quilt en Sud exhibition has so far yielded two good dates for the Autumn both regional meetings of combined patchwork clubs in the Landes & the Pyrenées so I'll be talking and teaching to over 100 people for each day! Quite a lot of preparation for that between now and the end of September.
We're away for a month in the summer and then Sep starts up again in earnest. As well as a course here I'll be going to Switzerland with our choir for a weekend concert and I have organised a week's exhibition of my work locally which I'm looking forward to.

Aucun temps d'écrire mon blog jusqu'a maintenant - trop de travail. Mon morceau pour le Pffaf challenge a été accepté et je suis contente. Comme d'habitude la cuisine de Peter a été bien apprécié pendant mes cours ici à la maison - presque plus que les cours! En automne je vais animer 2 jours de l'amitié dans le Landes et Les Pyrenées Atlantique. Le début du Sep j'organise un cour (5 jours) à la maison et une seamine plus tard je vais exposer tous mes oeuvres dans un locale pas loin de chez nous.
