My favourite work was by Lesley Uren and it was a Leafy Sea Dragon done in gold work. It was positioned behind a table so I couldn't get too close to see the details.

Another of my favourites was a box with a beautifully appliqued and embroidered top by Sylvia Reeves.

I also took a detail shot to see the wonderful embroidery.

I also liked Perception by Mary McArdle, it was a combination of painting and embroidery.

There was a lot of gold work on display and here is one called She is in Love by Sue White

There were a few quilts on display and there was one that caught my eye because of the embroidery and the dear little quotes on it. It was displayed on a hoop and unfortunately the name card was placed right in the middle of it.

There was a stand of little works by the South Western Branch who were celebrating their 40th birthday. The embroidery was exquisite.

It's hard to appreciate the wonderful and intricate beading from the photo.
The Embroiderer's Guild in Wattletree Road, Malvern, Victoria, Australia put on a wonderful exhibition every year and if you get a chance next year I highly recommend a visit.
Bye for now,
Linda

Love a show and tell that I don't have to leave the house! HA Wonderful work
I know what you mean, Robbie. Exhibitions are always so much better in real life though. I wish I had the time to see more.
