Sacred

Last nights activity was much less macabre than the day-before's; I called in at the British Library to see their Sacred exhibition. Unimpressed for the first few moments looking at pages of old books with old calligraphy I turned and saw some illuminated pages of a Hebrew Bible and that quilty bit of my brain went 'DING!'. For a while now I have been persuading my Mum to work with me on a quilt - she is a talented embroiderer, albeit not someone who enjoys doing her own designs. So, when she finally agreed, the task was on me to design something. All the embroidery books I looked at seem to be flower focuses which is not my taste but I am now geared up to design using images from the catalogue. I am now just wondering what the recreation of our ( seemingly traditional) show judges will be to the replication of a 18th centrury depiction of a scene from revelation containing a seven headed serpent sweeping bodies into the burning abyss! Actualy maybe last night was not all that much less macabre.....
