We had a great trip to Brussels, we meet Cathy who organised and did all the hard work, To be honest the photos don't do it justice, the hours of work that went into this project and putting together all the squares. there was 5,219 squares, from tatters in 49 countries, we should be proud of ourselves. There was 400 wishes sent with the squares for women's rights.
Vernon and I managed to find three of my squares out of over 5,000 I think that was quite good going,
I am going to leave you with the pictures to enjoy.
We had a tour one evening of Brussels and we all meet in the Halles of Saint Gery, I was the only tatter so I explained about tatting and how far it goes back too. I wish I had taken a shuttle with me to show them how it was made. Tatting it not widely known in Belgium hopefully now it will be known a little more. Part of the display went onto the World Lace Congress in Bruges. She would like to display this work around Europe and the UK if she cane find somewhere to display it.

What son to see your pictures! It’s different than seeing someone we don’t know. Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this :-) Glad you had a nice time there!
ReplyDeleteGlad a tatter got to see it in person. This has been such a great project for all of us and beautifully put together. I love that giant shuttle
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for pictures! I hope they'll find another place to display, it's been a wonderful project. The big shuttle is amazing, a great idea to catch people attention. I'm not very sure, but I think I can see one of mine (101 sent) in your picture! You made my day!
ReplyDeleteWow! Thank you for sharing! How wonderful! hugs, de
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that you were able to go and see the display in person. Thanks for all the pics.
ReplyDeleteYou certainly went above and beyond to bring the information and photos to us. Amazing that you actually traveled there! This project wasn't clear to me in the beginning, and I couldn't imagine how the squares were going to be sewn together. I still can't believe they did all that work. Yes this exhibit should travel! It's quite remarkable, as is that shuttle! Thanks again, Margaret.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your photographs, Margaret. Wonderful!
