Inspired by The Staffordshire Hoard

Finally finished my piece of embroidery for the West Midlands Embroiderers' Guilds exhibition - "INSPIRED BY THE STAFFORDSHIRE HOARD".  I am still not sure how much I like the piece, but at least it is now on the way to the first exhibition venue!

The exhibition is being held at The Potteries Museum, Bethesda Street , Stoke on Trent ST1 3DW from April 20th - June 16th and will feature work from a number of E.G. groups from across the West Midlands. Solihull Guild have sent 10 pieces.


 This is a photo of my piece based on a very mangled find from the Staffordshire Hoard collection, thought originally to be part of a shield decoration.
