Lots of work went into preparing items for the exhibition I held at Wollombi, in late May/early June. But it was very successful. About 3/4 of the items I exhibited were sold. I invited Helene Taylor to join me, to show some of her magnificent fine knitting. her items did not sell as well, but they attracted a lot of positive interest and attention.
I did not intend to take orders for other items, but several people were disappointed to see what they liked had a red dot on it already. So post exhibition I have been bust making some more garments.
Here are some pics of the gallery, as we set it up, and on the busy first morning.

| My saori loom on display attracted lots of interest. It was even more popular when grand-daughter Isabelle spent a morning demonstrating it. Grand-daughter Jessica demonstrated an inkle loom at the same time. |

| I am so thrilled with the way the exhibition went. |
