Our own Rose Pelvin was the organizer of this exhibition, and she was pleased with the result, and though she didn't explicitly say it, with the collective efforts of Marlborough Weavers, no doubt.

Doh, by Meg Nakagawa

I am brave/reckless not to practice/sample a technique I read in a book yesterday morning, but this exhibition entry is due Monday and I must get a move on.

This is called Italian Hemstitching, and I think I have seen it in other weavers' works, but I tried it for the first time, "live", as it were.
