Work recently asked me to sew a small quilt for a Times article, 'Make your own Emin cat quilt', to promote the upcoming V&A exhibition, Quilts 1700 - 2010. I was asked to use squares of V&A Fabrics mixed with plain colours of my own and Tracy Emin's cat motif appliqué to illustrate the instructions provided.
Seeing this in the paper reminds me of when I was about 10, I was at my friends house and her mum was looking at the local paper. She said 'oh look there is a girl on a pony!' I looked at the picture and it was me! (I had won a Rosette in a fancy dress gymkhana). As 10 year olds we found this hilariously funny. How I wish I had kept that clipping too.

congratulations Michelle, this is so cool,
they call you the "V&A quilter" in the article!
I hope that new opportunities will come with this for you.
