Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair

Today will be my third day at the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair. I’ve been having a lovely time! This year I am again by myself on my own stand.

I’ve been having some lovely conversations with people about embroidery. One I particularly enjoyed yesterday was with a lady of Chinese descent who told me of going to Singapore to learn to do the embroidery beading that her mother and grandmother had done on special wedding slippers. Between 5000 and 7000 beads per slipper! She was fascinated with my embroidery and I was fascinated with hers!

I’ve had many people telling me how much they love my books, particularly my stitch dictionaries. That is always so pleasing to hear.

People have been intrigued by the three examples of embroidery that I have on display, which are gong into my next book. I think they like the style!

Three more days to go. Please come and introduce yourself if you come to the show. I’m on stand L42.
