Blogger is not behaving tonight. This is about the 10th time I have tried to post and it is finally letting me type without deleting my words. So by this time, I have forgotten what I wanted to blog about.

I imagine I am not the only one who is so wired after having worked all day at something creative, that I can't get to sleep.

Any visitor to London who is interested in textiles has probably wondered about the designs on tube and bus seats.

Should have said - I have no connection with london transport or its shop, just an interest in the history of textiles!
Those patterns are spectacular!
It would be fun to replicate them as a group and see all the different interpretations.
