New Stuff !!

I just finished a new quilted sign for my art work. It was machine embroidered in a large hoop so I didn't have to reposition it to get it all done. The size is 19" x 12 1/2".

I have also dded two new shimmers to my collection, an anchor and a lighthouse.

These items will be going to Halifax with me on Thursday for the Atlantic Canada Trade Show (ACTS) this weekend. I have been invited to show my wholesale products in the Newfoundland Labrador booth. It has taken me many years to decide to sell any of my things at a wholesale show.
Last March I was approached by the craft sector of government to attend the local Trade Show. It was a great success so here I am, going to a much larger event! It will be a great experience and I'll get to see some great art pieces in the gallery space.

Road Trip

Last week, we took a few days and went to Gander. From there, we visited Twillingate, where I have some of my smaller pieces of art at the Driftwood Gallery. It was a cold, drizzly day so it wasn't really ideal for taking photos. We did visit the Longpoint Lighthouse which is located 331 feet above sea level on top of a cliff named Devil's Cove Head in Twillingate. The view, in good weather, would be spectacular. Here's a few photos of the lighthouse. Aren't the spiral steps interesting! We found out that this is one of the few manned lighthouses left around the island.
