Just a small selection of panels from the Gold Medal winning display of embroidery by the wonderfully prolific Jean Morris.

What a show!  Both at the venue and in your photos, Cliff - thank you for these great photos.
How fortunate for the show to have a venue with such good natural light  - lots of places not blessed with that.   :-X

Isn't Jean Morris' display amazing?  Goodness know how many hours of work go into those embroideries to get such detail.

The final few ...

Caption competition ... our celebrated forum regular, David Nicholson counting money at the show ... (under the bemused and amused gaze of colleague, Mike Quest).  Any printable captions, folks?   ;) ;) :D

Thanks Maggi ... I asked Jean that very question and much depends on the type of stitch ... the 'easier' ones can take anything up to eight days and the more complicated gems can take as long as ten weeks.  Incredible detail and artistry.

David's plan was to boost AGS Funds with a wager on a racing certainty in the 2.30 at Kempton Park, sadly his excitement at getting his hands on the stake money will be short-lived when he realises that Mike has him under surveillance..........

I think David is originally from Yorkshire, no?

Not only from Yorkshire but from Huddersfield too and I shall be back there for a few days later this week visiting my brother and his wife. I have to admit that I was breaking the habit of a lifetime in Cliff's picture but you have to put on a show when a bloke who lives in Lancashire is taking the picture :P

I thought you were from the 'right' side of the Pennines, David (and I don't just mean geographically - pace Cliff  ;)). Whereabouts in Huddersfield are you from? I'm more mines than mills and, although I've lived in Kirklees for a long time, the Huddersfield accent still sounds a bit odd to my ears. I've been lecturing my kids for years that it's 'nay', not noooo (it's hard to reproduce in writing how they say 'no', but I'm sure you know what I mean!). Thereagain, they point out who wants to sound like an extra in 'Kes'? Still, it's all the West Riding  :).
