Halloween.

Liz from Mount Eden

Anyone else doing Halloween this year? Burnley Terrace is set to go off for trick or treating once again where hundreds of kids descend like locusts for a few hours. It'll be different this year; that's for sure 😣Anyway, if you're like me, what changes will you make? Just curious.… View moreAnyone else doing Halloween this year?

My partner and I are looking to buy a 2-3 bedroom house anywhere in inner Auckland (ideally Arch Hill, Pt Chev, Kingsland, Sandringham, Mt Eden or surrounds).

We have been looking for a while now and have a realistic understanding of how high house prices are at the moment. We look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks very much

Stitch in time comes full circle

Caryn Wilkinson Reporter from Community News

An idea sparked 20 years ago has come full circle for embroiderer Diana Barker.

It took a month of painstaking work to create her colour wheel embroidery during Auckland's lockdown.

The project idea stemmed from a visit to Coventry Cathedral during the 1990s while holidaying in Britain.

Barker, an Auckland Embroiderer's Guild member, was inspired by the cathedral's modern take on rose windows and wanted to portray this.

Lacking a full set of colours, she left some spaces, which reflect the gaps in the cathedral windows where light seeps through.

Her work on fine linen features a frame bought from Asia.

Barker's creation will be exhibited at the Auckland Embroiderer's Guild Annual Display, from October 31 to November 8.

The show runs from 10am to 4pm daily at Onehunga Community Centre.

Barker said she was happy to have the extra time during lockdown to bring the idea to fruition.

The former president joined the guild soon after its formation in the early 1970s.

Now retired, she relishes the time she has to devote to stitching.

The guild meets in Mt Eden, Auckland for workshops and to hear monthly speakers.

Embroiderer Diana Barker created this colour wheel during Auckland's lockdown.
