Lace Day 2023 Saturday 3 June
Looking back 'Lace Day 2023' was a very enjoyable occasion with a good selection of suppliers and an outstanding talk by Jen Goodwin entitled 'Jacobean Crewel Embroidery. The climax of Jen's talk was her telling us about the embroidery she created for the Coronation of Charles III. Jen is a tutor and assessor at the Royal School of Needlework as well as having a studio space at Walford Mill.
The competition title for 2023 was 'Floral'. Linda King won in both categories 'Best Technical Entry' and 'Entry you would most like to take home' with her delicate Honiton flower spray.
Brittany Maxted received the cheque for £550 on behalf of our charity 'Birds of Poole Harbour'.
Grateful thank must go to Linda King who nominated the charity and also worked tirelessly to raise additional funds raffling some of her textile pieces.
Below are photos of the day including Stall Holders, Speaker, Jen Goodwin, and her work, Competition pieces and Winner.
