Matisse - the Cut Outs

I treated myself to a day out in London and went to the Matisse - The Cut Outs exhibition.
It was well worth the effort.
I went nice and early in the day and was guaranteed I'd get in as I'd bought my ticket in advance.  This really is a must for the big exhibitions to avoid disappointment.
As I'd got an early timed ticket, 10.30, it meant there weren't lots of people from earlier in the day.  This meant the rooms, with his huge pictures, were relatively empty and I was able to sit and enjoy looking at the pictures.
I hadn't been to Tate Modern before so this was a double treat.  After this great exhibition I looked a a couple of the galleries.  It was amazing.  I saw the Rothko Seagram Murals, a Dali, Picasso, Miro, Kadinsky and so much more.  A really great space.
The Matisse exhibition proved a real inspiration to me for The Travelling Stitch Book.  So here are my pages.

Dennis...

...well unfortunately Dennis died last month. Although we were very upset at the time we realise he had a very happy long life (18 years) and he spent his last day in the garden sunning himself . Everyone who came to the house met him - whether they wanted to or not; he was very friendly . So here are a last few photos of him looking like the fat happy orange cat that he was...

How exciting

Hello all. I had a very nice e-mail yesterday telling me I was in October's British Patchwork & Quilting magazine as their featured blog of the month. And yes I'm there on page 68. A very nice surprise as I had no idea my little old blog would make a national publication. So if any of you are looking at my blog for the first time please do leave a comment - I'd love to hear from you.
