Lots of blue bits of fabric around in my studio left over from the Blue  Boro style  workshop I ran at the weekend.(For photos of the results see my Facebook page) Used some bits today to create this little collage.

The story of Lorena and her stitching have  been featured tonight on Antique Road Show Detectives, you should be able to catch up with it through the BBC i-player.  Hopefully this link will take you there. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b05qtc6gVery poignant
