I hope you agree that they are amazing and I look forward to seeing them all finished 

Ruth Duffy - Inishowen and Beyond

 Ruth told us of her memories of living in Inishowen, Ireland. She told us of the many different ways she uses her many skills of using textiles and stitch, as well as other techniques. She is a member of our group and we all enjoyed her talk very much and found all her work to be very interesting and inspirational.
