Great to see you at the show Jamie, and thanks for the hug and the chewing gum on my very hungover Sunday! I work for the Royal School of Needlework and this years show was the best, and busiest ever! Like Helen said before me we’re all in this together because we all love needlework- and what a brilliant opportunity to all come together! Do come and say hi to me next year people!

Thanks for the fab photos – since I killed my camera en route I’m so glad you took these. The wonderful thing about the explosion of stitch creativity at this show is that it runs right across the board, from people buying their first kit to people pursuing Stitch As Art – we’re all in this together because we all love needlework. I came home absolutely buzzing and inspired.

Those portraits were done by Kerry Mosley and are embroidered wire – there’s a shadow behind them that gives it an organza feel, but it’s just a shadow. Her work involves knitting with embroidery wire, and is something I’ll feature in a future post. You can see more of her terrific work at http://www.kerrymosley.co.uk

Hello! Thank you for posting this stuff. I can’t tell by your post though, who is the artist responsible for the linear portraits on what appears to be silk organza (or some other transparent fabric). Please let me know! I do work on silk organza that’s hung away from the wall to cast a shadow and this artist is the first person I’ve seen who does anything remotely similar. I want to learn more about them! Thank you!!

I was there on the Saturday. After about five minutes my brain just stopped processing new information. There was just so much going on!
