You’re invited!
Do you need an excuse to visit Poland? Well - here it is! You’re invited to my tapestry crochet exhibition at the Central Museum of Textiles in Lodz (pronounced woodg), Poland. It opens next week at 1 PM on Tuesday, May 12th, and will be up through May 28th.
Your official invitation.
The Harvest was inspired by Polish and Mexican icons, Mexican milagros, personal convictions, and childhood memories.
How did I get my tapestry crochet into such a prestigious venue? Well, when my sister-in-law brought me to the museum in 2001, I thought, “Wouldn’t it be great to have my work displayed here some day?”
When my husband and I began planning our next visit, I thought, “If I want an exhibit, then I need to make a proposal.” So I did - and the museum accepted it - and now you are invited to see it! They chose a very appropriate piece for the invitation - don’t you think?

That’s great! I won’t be seeing it, do they plan to put out some sort of book about it?

I need to be more famous for someone to write a book or catalog about my tapestry crochet exhibition pieces - but I’m trying to get my name and work out there so that it will happen someday!

very happy!seeing tapestry bags with horses. i am from haryana ,India, when i was a child, i remember the girls of marriageable age use to crochet the bags shown in this sight. the yarn used by them were hand spinned and hand-dyed. but now-a days the trend is disappeared.
i am a person love to preserve antique items. i am very happy, i will make one to preserve our haryanvi tradition.
during my visit to rural areas i asked several times in each village i visited, about the bag, but nobody had it.
