Finished blankets




Handed in my blankets at the Domestic Craft this morning. The Shelter exhibition is on at Art Station from 6 May then the blankets will be given to refugees. Next week we are making a trip out to Pakuranga to Te Tuhi Gallery to knit there. Some of our blankets are forming part of another exhibition by an Australian artist about the Tampa refugees. Apparently the refugees were promised blankets and never got them. So this exhibition features 135 blankets or however many there are. Bought a lovely garment on the way home - woven and crocheted by an Argentinian woman - in a traditional Argentinian style. Looks great. Will post a picture of it soon.
The oak stand is an oldfashioned cake stand. You either put the cakes onto a doyley, or you could put a fancy plate on to the wood with the cakes on it.
The bottles are Brylcream bottles. I did the embroidery on the cloth below in 1973 when I was in Wellington and learning how to embroider at a night class.
