An exhibition exploring the contribution made by stitching, embroidering, knitting, and needlework to the well being of civilians and servicemen during the Second World War.

Managed a trip to the Asian Art Museum during my visit to San Francisco this year. What a great museum, just the right size to have a wander through all the galleries without getting 'museumitus' (you know, when your legs ache and you can't possibly take in one more beautiful object)!

Some highlights for me were:

Wicker Buddha; Ivory Tusk carving; Jade Buddha

And there was some great embroidery too!

Korean wrapping cloth; Silk kimono; womens clothing from SE Asia

If you can't visit personally, check out the collection on their website: Asian Art Museum

Ok, it's a little late but better late than never! Click on the image below to read all my latest news:

I have just arrived back from nearly 3 weeks in America, to find the first copy of my book on the doorstep!

Signed copies will be available to buy in June from my shop and look at for silk shading kits also. More about San Francisco later....
