Coming up into the village, from Papantonios, the road does a z bend around this building. At the right is the Panorama Lounge and on the left is the Community Hall.
|
 |
When the Panorama Lounge is open (I have yet to figure out their hours), the cars line the street (illegally parked) right where there is a bend and a T junction! Although they do serve some snacks it is primarily a place to have a drink and enjoy the view and seems to be frequented mostly by young people.
|
I have never seen any activity at the Community Hall so I was surprised when there was a notice on Facebook that there would be an embroidery exhibition held there. I made a note of the date and this Sunday went to see if I had the right place.
 |
The door was open and there were a few women walking around looking at the displays.
|
 |
Just a couple of quilts
|
 |
Most pieces, or group of pieces, had a label.
|
 |
There were all kinds of hand work
|
 |
Most was done in white but there was some coloured work.
|
 |
Some may have been heirlooms as traditionally a dowry of table clothes, bed linens and decorative items would be created for a bride.
|
 |
| Curtains |
 |
| Blankets |
 |
Table cloths and shawls.
|
 |
There was quilting, crochet, embroidery, lace, cutwork, cross stitch, tapestry, weaving and techniques that I don't even have a name for. Some talented people in this village.
|
 |
On the painting front - I tried a monochromatic "Statue of Poseidon"
|
 |
On the reading front - just finished this. Lovely descriptions of life on a small Greek island.

No, she's visiting family in the UK.
