Talk by Heather Wilson on her Textile Travels in India

We had our usual social time before we listened to Heather's talk.  Eating our lunch, discussing our latest projects, shopping at the sales table, or hearing about exhibitions and textile events in the area.

Heather told us all about the family paintings she does for special occasions.  Someone will give her lots of pictures about the family members, including any pets and anything that means a lot to them.  Heather then draws up the picture then paints it all in.  She wants everything to be correct

Thank you, Heather, for a most interesting and enjoyable talk.
