On Saturday I was at the Embroiderers’ Guild of NSW exhibition to do a demonstration of Portuguese Whitework. All of the guild tutors had been offered the chance to do either a talk or a demonstration, and each day of the exhibition there were about 4 tutor presentations. As it turned out, I believe I was the only one who decided to do a demonstration.<\/p>\n
I had a timeslot of an hour, so I pinned all the projects from the book up on the wall, and got to work. I had a nice little crowd around me, and showed them the basics of the drawn thread work, then how to trace the pattern, how to do an eyelet and how I do bullion stitch.<\/p>\n
The demonstration went well, with onlookers asking great questions. There were several ladies whom I have had in classes before, and others who are looking forward to me visiting their group in the near future.<\/p>\n
I have a couple of classes to teach this week, so it will be a busy, but enjoyable week.<\/p>\n
The exhibition itself had some really beautiful examples of embroidery on display. There was some work of a *very* high standard. It was lovely to see, and also to catch up with ladies who I have met or had in classes in the past.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
