    Hi there. I previously have visited your guild to give one of my talks. I now have new ranges of talks and wondered who best to get in touch with as regards a new booking? Best Wishes, Ailish www.ailishhenderson.com

    Hello,

    my name is Tanya, and I'm based in Leeds and specialise in medieval embroidery. I take part in Leeds university International Medieval Congress every year, and have been teaching medieval embroidery and opus anglicanum techniques at the Ashmolean in Oxford and Lakeside arts in Nottingham for several years now. Last week I gave a talk for the embroiderer's guild in Broadwell, Oxfordshire.

    Hi, I have been clearing out inherited fabrics, ribbons etc and have a mixed bag including a lot of sheer fabric for layering and using with disposable fabric and machine embroidery. I am looking for a good home for it. Please contact me if you know of anyone who could make use of any of it, and we can figure out how to get to them. There is also some clothes fabric and zips, tape etc.
    Thank you Tamzin

    Hello Tamzin, Sorry not to reply earlier, the blog has taken a back seat recently. I don't know how we would pick up any fabric etc but we took a lot of stuff to the Art College at Middlesbrough, Green Lane earlier in the year and they were delighted to have it. They have textile students who would use all sorts of stuff. Hope this helps. Linda Danby.

    Thank you, I've given them material before, but the students are not there now. I was thinking someone who's self isolating might want it now. Never mind.
