This week saw the Rotorua Embroidery Guilds Exhibition .

It was a great success, and on Saturday we had "District Day."

Where Guilds from the Bay of Plenty and Waikato

( the equivalent of counties for my northern followers)

they visited with us had a good lunch and generally socialised

and caught up with what is going on in the district.

I had three items on display,

but the most amazing thing was that I was approached to sell

my " Black Stumpwork" now this is sort of a first,

I have been asked to help and tutor other things

but never to sell my work,

is this going to be opening up a whole new world ...

No I don't think so. But hey!! what a compliment.
Oh and by the way sorry it is not for sale...

but then hang on a minute they say

" Everyone has their price "
