THROUGH THE EYE OF A DUTCH NEEDLE

An exhibition of Dutch and Dutch-Australian needlework

Do you want to take part in an exhibition to be held in the headquarters of the Embroiderers Guild of NSW Inc. of Dutch and Dutch Australian needlework?

The Guild has invited the Dutch Community, through the Dutch Australian Cultural Centre Ltd., to organise the “room display” in their premises in Concord West from OCTOBER 1 till OCTOBER 22, 2010.

For the display we look at as much and wide participation as possible from both women and men. Both, because men may not be embroiderers, but they may have inherited items made by mothers, aunts or other family members.

Although the emphasis will be on embroideries and especially household linens and hand-monogrammed trousseau items, antique or older articles inherited from parents or grandparents are very welcome. Items like quilts and hand-made clothing are of course included.

Have a look at your possessions and let us know what you want to display.

Ring me at 02 9976 5052 (all calls will be answered and/or returned) or send an e-mail to mijntje@bigpond.com for further information.

You will be informed about Guild rules and procedures later. Please pass this message on.

ALL CARE WILL BE TAKEN, BUT NO RESPONSIBILITY.

MIJNTJE HAGE, for the Dutch Australian Cultural Centre Ltd
