Congratulations to member Lindsay Hussey, whose piece 'Reclaim, Restore, Revive' has been accepted into the inaugural 2021 Australian Fibre Arts Award, a biennial event. All pieces will be exhibited during September/October at the Embroiderers' Guild of NSW (COVID restrictions willing). This 2020 piece - "Caught in Flight" - is very different to the 2021 piece.
