2020 Embroidery officially recognised as drawing art

Such a disjointed year for us all so the best thing to do was keep on making, creating and being proactive, working around the restrictions and limitations.

I decided it was time to be more active in the community and filled a vacant spot with the ACT Textiles Arts Association. As the President I was able to add my enthusiasm and new ideas to group I just love. Women who make, contribute, do charity and have an exhibition each year. This year we added a market day to replace the hated raffle tickets and it was booming success. The weather was sunny but cold and restrictions were lifted that week so we had a great response. We have improved our promotional activities and have many more followers on facebook and Instagram,

I was also a lucky finalist in the M16 Artspace Drawing price with my Contemplation Cloth 64.

64 days of almost continuous embroidery as we waited for something to happen.
