I have been co-ordinating a much smaller project here in Auckland using art and stitch as the vehicle as a means of combating social isolation amongst the many migrants and local people we have in our community. It really works! Women of all ages, ethnicities and backgrounds sitting around a table chatting and stitching.

Really delighted to see that Limehouse Town Hall is full of textiles again. When I was around about 20, when the museum was in residence, I spent a lot of time in that hall with those trade union banners. In those days it was the fiefdom of Terry McCarthy, who some readers of this blog will no doubt remember. I was at the Grayson Perry exhibition at the British Museum yesterday which, once again, showed the value of textile art and craft. I will be keeping a look out for ‘Stitches In Time’ exhibitions.

Best wishes,

Joan
