I'd like to make a short comment here on
presentation. Mr. Sidelinger's embroideries are exquisite - and even more so because they are so professionally presented. The are custom mounted, matted and framed under glass. There is a spacer between the mat and the work so that it floats above the textile. It is quite beautiful and makes some of the smaller textiles in the exhibit look a bit, well, less professional by comparison. If and when I have a textile piece that needs to be presented this way I think I will spring (the big bucks) for non-glare glass.

This was the first piece I saw in entry into the gallery, and it absolutely delighted and captivated me.

This was the last thing I noticed on my way out - and I had to stop and take a bit longer to absorb it's great and delicate deliciousness.
