The gates to Sydney’s Royal Easter Show opened yesterday plus
entries are now open for the Royal Adelaide Show.
Sydney Royal Easter Show is from 12‒23 April
2019 and this year is my first ever entry to this major show with a slouchy beanie
crocheted with the broomstick lace technique. I’m told competition is fierce at the Sydney
Royal because of the multitude of entries.
If my entry gets selected for display, I will consider it a success.
According to the Easter Show’s information:
“Notification of Exhibits that
are
NOT selected for Display will be issued
by Monday 8 April to the email address
NOT selected for Display will be issued
by Monday 8 April to the email address
provided at the time of entry.”
I have not received any email correspondence from the Royal Easter Show since
receiving my entry pack. I can only
assume that my piece has been selected!
Wow! I’m very happy and satisfied
with that result.
I am still in Adelaide and won’t get to see my hat on
display in Sydney so if you happen to get to the Royal Easter Show at Sydney
Olympic Park, please would you do me a favour and take a photo of the display
if you find it. Thank you!
Here's a picture!

The Royal Adelaide Show (30August‒8 September 2019) has some special entry
classes just for this year as part of its Queen Victoria Challenge across a
range of handicrafts and a special prize for Best Overall Queen Victoria
Challenge Exhibit in Show. The idea is
to recreate Victorian patterns. For example, Class 453: Queen Victoria Challenge – Crochet is for “Victoriana
crochet such as collars and cuffs, reticule, mittens & gloves, shawl,
shrug, smoking cap, pence jugs, Fair Isle or milk jug covers.”
More information about the other classes and crafts are on the Royal
Adelaide Show website: https://theshow.com.au/show-entries/competitions/handicrafts/
Entries
close 21 June 2019.

Oh cool!! If we get there, I'll look out for it :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Michelle. Going to a show with little ones is a completely different experience. If you do go, I hope you have fun and don't wear yourself out.
DeleteWow, how exciting! I am not too surprised though, you really do the loveliest work! The colours and structure of the hat is super. Thanks for your kind comment on my blog. My fingers are failing me and I fear this will be my last big Paper piecing project, here's crossing my sore fingers hoping I do finish it 😅! A very happy Easter to you and your family. Blessings, Pam in Norway
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind compliments, Pam.
DeleteI'm so sorry about your fingers. May they see you through to the end of the project. I am useless with any hand sewing - my clumsy fingers always end up bleeding from accidentally sewing my fingers instead of the fabric so I admire your abilities. I can only imagine the fear and uncertainty you must be feeling about the possibility of losing dexterity or function in your fingers due to pain etc. Please keep us up to date on how you are going. Good luck and happy crafting and Happy Easter to you too! :-)
Lovely hat! So talented!
ReplyDeleteThank you Liberty Belle. I'm glad you like my hat design. The result of hard work and passion as much as talent. I hope the judges like it too!
