It was a great success! Lots of people having a wonderful time, good speeches, lots of amazing works to see!
I have been helping with the preparation of the exhibition and it was very exciting to see the culmination last night.
There are so many talented artists around!
The exhibition is on for two weeks. If you have the chance, call in and see the amazing variety of works.
Not being an expert, I didn't really notice that there was not as much traditional embroidery as in past years. There are over 150 entries, with a large range of techniques.
I had thought that there would be a lot of seascapes, and there are a few, but there are also many interesting interpretations of the theme.

One of the good things about the exhibition is that you are encouraged to work to the theme but you may also put in pieces that are not related, as long as they have been made in the last two years. It is a great chance for members to be part of a wonderful exhibition.
I helped out in the Gift Boutique today. There are lots of items for sale. They have been made during the year specially for this exhibition. I was, almost, inspired to try some hand sewing after seeing all the gorgeous pieces. Then I realised that I really prefer to use the machine and play around with idea for that sort of embroidery. Whew!
