Broderers' Exhibition Part 2

This is the lost follow up video to the Broderers' Exhibition

This was filmed in August 2024 but due to various logistical reasons, including loosing one camera angles, its only coming out now. The voiceover should be clear but again, because of the surviving camera footage being filmed over my shoulder, it might be a little quiet at times. I apologise; I did wonder whether to put the video out and finally decided to as I'd promised a second one, and I thought you'd want to see it.

In this video I'm stitching the needle which forms part of the embroidery I made and put forward for the Worshipful Company of Broderers' 2025 exhibition - more on the results of that next time. I'm working silk threads on a linen ground fabric and I'm working out colour combinations as I go, so this is what you hear me talking about throughout most of the video.

So grab your crafting and/or a cuppa (as we say in the UK) and a slice of cake and join me in a belated stitch along.
