The Aberdeen Christmas fair was last week and was a lot of fun. The embroidered cards were popular, and as usual people were interested in how they were made. Computerised embroidery machines are not all that common in the UK and the whole idea was new to a lot of people. I had to spend a lot of time explaining that this kind of embroidery was really very different from the more familiar cross-stitching and crewel work, and should be seen as a different art form entirely. That was a new idea to a lot of people but I think many of those I talked to became very interested in this new art medium and saw its possibilities Anyway, now I can get on with some new ideas, but meanwhile here are some of the cards that were on show at the fair
