I spent Saturday afternoon in Brisbane at a meeting of the Embroiderers Guild of Queensland. There was a distinct air of anticipation and excitement at the guild headquarters. The guild's exhibition is just over two weeks away.
At the meeting embroidery pieces, made here in Queensland, were arriving in their prescribed cloth bags. We were all dying to see them but that will have to wait for the big day when the exhibition opens on the 6th of June.
Other beautiful embroidered items were handed in too. These will be sold during the exhibition to raise funds for the guild. And also on sale will be an assortment of second hand books and embroidery supplies such as thread, fabric hoops, and buttons.
So, if you are going to be in Brisbane between 6 and 9 June, do drop in to see the exhibition. And perhaps do a little shopping too. I've no doubt with plenty to see and do it will be worth it.
