THE SEWING ART

LARGE ENTRIES IN NEEDLEWORK SECTION HIGH STANDARD REACHED More than 600 different articles were laid out on display at the needlework section. Entries were received from all over New Zealand. The winners came from Wanganui, Blenheim, Wellington, Hawke’s Bay and Christchurch. In the fancy coloured needlework class there were 81 exhibits, and nearly all showed originality and excellent workmanship. Considerable ingenuity was displayed in the competition for articles matle from sugar bags, some surprising results being produced with the unattractive material. The classes in the girls’ section were well filled, with aprons, d’oyleys, frocks and article:# of embroidery. There was a wealth of talent on display. Miss V. L» Cogswell, of Grey Lynn, won Miss Bertha Parker’s trophy for most points in the needlework classes. The trophy was first competed for in 1928, Miss Cogswell being the third winner.
