it is just after 11:00 p.m. And we arrived in Reyjkavik about half an hour ago just in time for bed. Johanna and her husband Gunnar gave us a ride but we couldn’t leave until after a board meeting and then Johanna had to go home and assist a sheep who was in trouble giving birth, unfortunately both lambs died. When she got to the Textile Centre to pick us up Gundrun, the artist who is putting up her exhibit at the Textile Museum, locked herself out of her room and no spare key to be found.  This all meant we were not on the road until just before 7 and then we stopped at the site where the last beheadings in Iceland happened in 1830 and Amanda and I took pictures and walked to the execution site.  We also stopped for supper so late arrival but we are here safe and sound. I did forget my jacket in Johanna’s vehicle and she was good enough to bring it back to me, what a great lady.

I am sure you are wondering what I did today if I could not felt.  Believe it or not I stitched on the tapestry,  this is the part that I stitched, I worked on the thing that looks like a light blue column. I only managed to get about an inch or so completed in one and a half hours but I will have my name in the book when the tapesrtry it is completed of people who worked on it. 

   
 I packed up two boxes to send home by mail. One is full of Icelandic wool batts and the other is full of extra stuff from my suitcase so I could have my new felt pieces with me. I think it is important they travel with me. 

It was nice getting a ride with Johanna as she told us the names of mountains and stories about trolls and pointed out tolls corner and we got dropped off right at our door. It was a nice way to end my time at the Textile Centre with a lovely drive with interesting companions. 

I will try and do another post tomorrow with a few photos but right now it is time for bed.
