This area is found on section 44 of The for Love of Stitching Band Sampler. This is the last little area of that section and it is another autobiographical snippet.
We went to Christchurch New Zealand to see Eve our daughter perform in a show called Lydian age.

This is a lovely piece. Thank you for sharing the video and slides.
Beautiful air born ballet! A must to add to your stitch sampler!
