Mitchell, RAK and a Quilt!

Last week Mitchell spent the week at City Cite. Everyday he headed into the city where the students were put into groups and checked out the city. Mitchell's group was the art group. They went to the Art Gallery, found lots of graffiti art all around town, found statues and all sorts of art. The students had to interview the public on whether or not they thought graffiti was art or vandalism. They also headed to the Eureka Skydeck and went out on "The Edge"! Mitchell said he has never been so scared! Friday night all the families headed into the City Cite building where the students presented their findings.
A little while ago I received a lovely RAK parcel from Julie of Jewells. This is the parcel I made up for her. Now she has received it I can post a picture.
Finally, I've entered my "Something Pretty For Me" quilt into the Quilting Gallery's "Quilts with embrboidery/stitchery on them competition". I'd love you to check it out and if you like it, vote for me. Below I've added some close-up pictures of the embroidery as it's very hard to see it in the main photo.Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Hugs, Christine

Wonder what the verdict from the public was - art or vandalism?

Your quilt is a work of art too Christine. I've just been over and voted. Your lovely work makes me think I really should finish mine too!
