This is from the August 2009 Canberra Craft Fair. I've dithered around
thinking I wouldn't add these photos to my blog so late in the piece
and then on reflection decided that given (1) I actually had something
exhibited and (2) the Tapestry guild may not exhibit again over the
next few years, that I would record this for my benefit at least.
My last post was asking the question of whether I could finish my tapestry in time for the craft fair. Well I did. Evidence posted here. Mine is the red and white and green one on the left - flannel flowers. It went south to Melbourne in October and was gifted to my mother-in-law, who is a crafter as well but more importantly she is the mother of my husband - hence the "thank you" gesture. It took me three years to finish the tapestry and except for the petit point, I loved all the stitching.
And here are two of the dedicated Tapestry guild members at the Craft fair. They set up the stall and spent the four days stitching and making themselves available for discussion and questions. You'll notice my little one peeping out of the corner of the photo. She very patiently hung around with me while I chatted with my stitching buddies. Then we went back into the throngs in search of projects for her young hands.....
A plaster cat that you glue bits of japanese paper on and then varnish. All completed in a whizz but very pleased she was. She gifted this to her dad.
