Portarlington Woman Creates Masterpiece While Listening To Midlands 103

What do you do while listening to the radio?

Drive? Work? Relax?

One Feel Good Saturday listener created a cross stitch of Jeff Goldblum, aka Ian Malcolm from Jurassic Park, over a number of weeks while tuned in from 11am.

Jade Bennett in Portarlington has been keeping presenter Peter Dunne updated with her progress every week via WhatsApp and after a number of weeks including a final count of 6798 stitches her masterpiece is finally finished.

Jade told midlands103.com about her work:

Jade has also been commissioned to do an art piece to feature at Fosest Fest in Emo this weekend from July 22nd to 24th.
