The Queen's Head!

You may be thinking that I am referring to the local pub but it's something very different! Our BBC News team were asking for people to send in their photos so a mosaic could be made up by artist Helen Marshall who will then create 2 photos of the queen - one of her when she was younger and a current picture of her. It was too late for me to send in photos but one of my daughters did (Michelle).

The mosaic was on display in the Towner Gallery in Eastbourne for a few days at the end of May and it has now been on display in the new Turner Gallery in Margate for 2 days only.

My husband and I went along to view it ... and to see if we could find the photo of Michelle - on her wedding day. It was a while before I had to call her and ask for a clue! LOL. Finally, I found the photo. It was a good 'game'/challenge to look amongst over 5,000 photos for it!

There were so many people that it was difficult to get a clear view to take a photo without anyone in front of the huge display, so this is what I managed to get...
Then I zoomed in on the middle of the display...
...and finally, I found Michelle's photo - right in the middle. *Ü*
What if anything has made you feel Jubilant?

Disbanded Design Team.
It is with sadness that the design team I was part of has been disbanded for reasons beyond their control. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Hobbysew and my last project has now been returned which I can share with you. The papers that I had were of a Halloween theme (no surprise there then) and I had some photos of one of my granddaughters - Eden that fitted well.
Thanks so much for stopping by and visiting my blog.
Toots for now.
