I come from a long line of sign writers and am happiest with a brush and some paint! Add
paint to fabric and I get really excited!!

Stories in Stitches Revisited




My sister took these photos of the St Paul’s Show so I could share them here. What a magnificent setting for these pieces of art.

To read and see more, check out Susan Purney Mark’s blog as well as this interview on CBC. And there is more on Cathy Miller’s blog!!



The show was a resounding success with 1300 people passing through the doors to view the displays! Quilts, hooked rugs, needlepoint, cross stitch - they included all forms of needlework. Plus you got to see the beauty that is St Paul’s, a heritage property in the heart of downtown Charlottetown.

Enjoy!

    What a fabulous show! Thanks for sharing Jennifer. Is this an annual event?

    It certainly was a great success for the church’s first show!! Now that they have seen the response, I am hoping they will make it an annual or bi-annual event. I will be sure to keep everyone who reads my blog posted as to their decision. I think including all forms of needlework was brilliant and not having to be in a guild or pay a registration fee made it more attractive to the folk who displayed pieces.

    I think the best thing about this show was that it gave a lot of people who were not part of guilds or groups and who quietly did their work at home for pleasure, the chance to show off a bit and be part of this collective display. Am hoping it is an annual or at least bi-annual affair!
