These objects represent miniature museum exhibits of animal, mineral or vegetable origin and are worked in a wide range of embroidery techniques.

                                                                                                                          Each December, Certificate Course students and other interested Guild members are asked to participate in a Christmas Exercise. December 1991, each person was given a small “museum case” to fill with an appropriate exhibit to suit the theme, using any embroidery technique of their choice. Many styles of embroidery and textile manipulation were used and along with the titles, reflect the humour, versatility and inventiveness of all who joined in. Our 1991 Certificate Course Convener was Meg Douglas.

                                                                                                                          The participating embroiderers and their exhibit titles are listed below. How many can you identify?
