Needlework and Tapestry Guild Exhibition...











I went to the Tapestry and Needlework Guild Annual Exhibition on Wednesday night - unfortunately my camera was playing up and with all the glass reflection - the photos I took aren't great - but they do give some indication of the standard of work... This year's theme was Black and White and all the Colours in between - you can see better photos over on G's blog... They picked up quite a few prizes for their needle prowess at the Royal Melbourne Show in September... Again the photos don't do them justice and of course there were lots to choose from and I did just snap at random - however I do have a soft spot for the Winnie the Pooh and Piglet - I have always loved that particular image of those two childhood friends... I can't really pick one against the other as a favorite - the one that took my breath away is the black and white Celtic image of the man with the sword hilt...Did I have an entry - of course not - like blogging I am a better looker than contributor...

As far as my own stitching is concerned I haven't done much more to my 'red lady' however I went on another 'hunting and gathering' expedition as I had a gift voucher from Sandlyn House - Moooroolbark - which was fast approaching its used by date... I tried to think of what I might be going to make in the future rather than just buy at random... I was a little naughty last week and bought this - from D - I admired her 'craft' for so long and when I saw this little bird I knew that it had to be mine - I fretted all day at work in case it had been sold before I got home - but God smiled and I purchased it... Looking forward to receiving it through the week... It must have been my week as I also won buttons from Giggle Buttons

Until next time...Take care...

It was a fantastic exhibition, wasn't it! Shame about your camera - I was hoping you would feature some photos of different projects from the ones I took.
Congrats. on winning some Giggle Buttons!
Did you get to the Pompeii exhib? Ken was so tired after working in the yard all day Saturday he didn't feel up to going out, so we stayed home and watched Yellowstone instead. Lovely DVD!
