As you're probably tired of hearing me say, our annual North East Open Studios exhibition is about to open, and yesterday I went along and set up my machine there and got prepared for my usual embroidery demonstrations. These demonstrations are always very popular, as most people have never seen an embroidery machine in action and don't often have any idea of what it can do
So I was setting things up and putting out some sample stitchouts for display when someone came along and bought one of them! This was the rooster I mentioned a few weeks ago
The popular rooster
It's certainly a good beginning to the exhibition for me! However, I won't be posting here for a week or so, because I'll be at the exhibition full time and won't really be able to think of anything else. Now – I know that a few blog readers live quite near here in Aberdeenshire, so if that's you, please do come along to "Art in the Buchat", which is our exhibition at the Glenbuchat Hall. It's on from the 11th to the 19th of this month, and we'd all love to see you!
Mia, A great start, I hope it continues for you this coming week. The rooster is terrific, as everything else would be I am sure. Enjoy the exhibition, hopefully you shall meet a lot of new people. Maybe a commission amongst them, or, your going to convert some new embroiders to our wonderful passion. GOOD LUCK.
Will see you sometime over the weekend hope you have some left to look at.
I’m excited for you, and so wish it were possible to visit Scotland and your exhibition! I, too, would have bought that adorable rooster on the spot. Perhaps someday you could offer some of your creations for us to purchase? In the meantime, enjoy yourself while you educate and share embroidery as art!
I can understand why someone bought the rooster — it’s gorgeous! Hope everything goes well at the exhibition. 😊
I can certainly understand why someone would buy your stunning rooster! It is just fabulous! Have a great time at your exhibition demonstrating your embroidery machine embroidering some of your awesome designs. I will look forward to hearing all about the exhibition. If your rooster is any indication, you will sell all of the items you brought quickly and get orders for more.
