Fashion, Embroidery, Stitch 2013






Hello,
It's a week since I set up at the NEC for The Fashion, Embroidery, Stitch show and what an eventful week it has been.
Firstly, where has Spring gone??
The weather could not have been worse, with snow on the Friday, Saturday and Sunday ( I woke up to a blizzard on Sunday morning).
Luckily I managed to get in OK, driving very slowly through the country roads.
Despite the weather I had a very busy few days, although predictably, Sunday was much quieter and both my sisters who had planned to come then could not get there, due to the icy roads.
I met some lovely people, so many enthusiastic stitchers and I'm very grateful that they had battled to get in.
The show had some fantastic exhibitors with such a wonderful inspiring array of work, I wished I had been able to spend more time looking.
Thank you very much if you came to see my work and if you could not get in I have a video which you can view, my very first time on You tube! See Here
Now it's time to get back to my stitching, I think I'm going to retreat into hibernation!

Hibernation sounds a very good idea. I should have been coming to the Show on the Saturday but wasn't well enough, so annoying!

Michala, I'm so disappointed I didn't get to see you and your beautiful work because of the weather. Thank you for the video, your work is fantastic. Are you at any other shows this year.

Congratulations on having your some of your work featured in 'Mastering the Art of Embroidery' by Sophie Long... your embroideries look amazing in the book and I am so happy to have seen them in person at the Herbert Gallery in Coventry last year.
Take care
Isabell xx
