A Carshalton woman is to have her embroidery work displayed in the Victoria and Albert Museum over the next three months after winning a national competition.

University graduate Louisa Randall, 22, of Banstead Road, was also awarded £600 as part of the prize, which she intends to put towards materials and student debts.

She said: "I am looking to continue with my freelance work and hope winning the competition will help."
