Spending a
week away from home again. I have an exhibition at the Biennale International d’Art
Textile in Villefranche-sur-Saone, where I had already been once two years ago
with an exhibition for International Threads. Contrary to original plans I had
to drive because of the train strikes in France, and although I was a bit
non-plussed about that, I was kind of glad I hadn’t bought a ticket earlier
because there are no refunds when there are strikes and I would have been
rather mad about that. This was I spent two days driving, broke the journey
visiting my best friend whom I hadn’t seen in person in a while and listened to
several more of the 16 CDs of my favorite audio book while traversing
Switzerland.
The
exhibition was put up really quickly and I am very pleased at how good it
looks.

It’s good
to see many people again, I hope to meet new people, and although I think 4
days with opening hours from 9.30 to 18 o’clock is a bit on the longish side, I
am enjoying the show.
Slower hours can be filled with stitching - either adding on to 'A Scrap a Day' (with slightly relaxed rules during these days, I may add more pieces per day for the time being), or continuing on a middling I am making for the 70,273 Project, including teaching myself a new and complicated stitch that I now at least understand, even though I won't claim I have mastered it.
We are
staying outside of the village in a holiday apartment with a beautiful
courtyard that makes one wish it were just a bit warmer already so we could sit
outside in the evening, which is not quite possible yet…
