My Time Spent At Fashion, Embroidery,Stitch

Here I am busy demonstrating!

Jen Goodwin's beautiful hand embroidery

My work kept me warm while I was stitching!

Hello,
It's been exactly a week since the Fashion, Embroidery, Stitch opened at the NEC Birmingham which I can't quite believe!
I was lucky to be able to show my work and demonstrate for Madeira threads.
As I had never participated in a show like this before, I was slightly nervous, but I was lucky to have lots of support and help from Maderia, as well as Jen Goodwin who was also demonstrating her embroidery.
Jen trained at The Royal School Of Needle Work, she told me about the embroidery she had done on the royal wedding dress last year, which was very interesting.
It was lovely to meet so many people and I was amazed at how far many had travelled.
Thank you if you came to say hello, blog friends, flickr friends and anyone who took the time to watch me stitch!
I hope to be exhibiting again next year which means I need to finish the very large piece I was working on, at least it gives me a deadline to work towards!

It was lovely meeting you at the n being Show Michala :-) I still havn't done my blog post about the show yet but I will get round to it. It was fascinating to see you stitching at the machine and the amount of effort it took to manipulate the cloth.

Thanks for sharing your days at the exhibition - I was disappointed not to get there to see you. I used to go to the Harrogate one every year when I lived in Yorkshire. Maybe next year...
