Cross Words

 

Thank you to friends who donated newspapers to get me started on a new 'Playing with Pojagi' project.

I spend a happy 5 days away at https://quiltretreatuk.co.uk/ working on this piece.Great venue, fantastic food, and fabulous company. 








Using my favourite paper lamination technique to convert newsprint into stitchable fabric. Thanks to Ali for the photo. (Apron from when my son worked as a Saurday boy on the bakery counter in approx 2016)














Eventually, after three solid days of  lamination, soaking, scrubbing, and generally making a right old mess, we have 169 squares ready to be stitched













Calibri font alphabet




The first of a very many stitched squares. The answers will 'Unfold' as the clues are solved. This piece will be exhibited as part of the Out of the Fold 'Unfolding' exhibition at The Guildhall, Bury St Edmunds from 3rd to 8th October 2023
