Seeing the Hardanger Filling Stitch sampler in real life

This is the sampler from my forthcoming book “Hardanger Filling Stitches”. I’ll have it on display at the QuiltNSW Exhibition 2023 Marketplace on 15th-17th September – yes, that’s really soon!

One thing people tell me again and again when they see my work in real life, rather than on the screen or on the pages of my books, is that it is so different to see the real thing.

There’s so much we can see when we’re there with the piece that we just don’t or can’t see otherwise. That’s one of the reasons I travel to the places where the embroidery I am studying comes from. I want to see the real examples in museums and private collections, not on screens or on the pages of a book. I can understand the work so much more!

So come along to the QuiltNSW Exhibition 2023 Marketplace and see my work for real! 10am – 4pm daily, 15th-17th September. Grand Pavilion, Rosehill Gardens Racecourse, Sydney. I’ll be at Stand 12, which is a tucked in a corner, at the end of a row.
