Exhibition at Truro Cathedral

After a delicious breakfast with delightful company in the Mylor Cafe, we headed to Truro to do some banking business and to visit the cathedral for a new large-scale textile exhibition Threads Through Revelation by artist Jacqui Parkinson. It’s only there for a few days from September 3 to 5 so if you are local you have a chance to see this remarkably beautiful work.
Regular readers may remember the exhibition of Jacqui Parkinson’s other work which I posted about here. It’s worth going back to. https://mybeautfulthings.com/2025/07/09/exhibition-at-truro-cathedral/

Here is today’s gallery with the information on the right hand side. Click on any photo to see the exquisite detail and read the information.

This one is for sale……..

Another icon has gone – RIP Gloria Steinem, feminist, activist and journalist.

Spirals, Chocolates and Supper

05 Aug

I missed Roots this morning as the charging cable for my laptop had broken so I had to go to Truro to get a new one. As I was on my own, I spent another hour or so in the Cathedral admiring Jacqui Parkinson’s beautiful textile hangings that I told you about a few weeks ago. Check that post out here. Today I was looking more closely at detail and became aware that there were spirals in every piece and then saw that the artist explains her intention. Do enjoy the gallery.

Not sure about the spiral in this one….

….maybe in the spider’s web?

I then went to buy chocolates for a treat for my lovely Mr S at home on his own for the first time since his op and was drawn to some with spirals!

I made a delicious ratatouille for dinner tonight, seven plant foods in one meal.

Exhibition at Truro Cathedral

09 Jul

Regular readers will know that I love textiles and creativity and today we saw the most amazing exhibition of beautiful textile panels in the Cathedral. Threads Through Creation is a wonderful depiction of the story of the creation as told in the Bible. If you live anywhere nearby or the exhibition comes near you, do go to see it. I want to go again when I have more time. Here is a gallery to give you a flavour of this glorious work.
