KATE SLAUGHTER DAYSCHOOL SUNDAY 8 MARCH 2020

Some of these are samples that Kate was using to demonstrate her techniques and others are the ones we started on Sunday. 
Lovely day.  We made lots of samples to take home and stitch later and then concentrated on stitching one particular piece.
As you can see beautiful and colourful and all so different.

DAY SCHOOL WITH KATE SLAUGHTER SUNDAY 8 MARCH 2020

Some of the lovely samples that Kate brought to her dayschool with us.  She was so willing to share her expertise with us and answer all our questions.







KATE SLAUGHTER A CREATIVE JOURNEY WITH COLOUR AND TEXTURE

Our meeting on Saturday with Kate was lovely.  She was so open with her information about the her development originally and then the problems she'd had with her illness and how she had tackled those problems and overcome them.  It was inspirational.








 Some of the beautiful pieces that she shared with us.

SATURDAY 7TH SEPTEMBER WENDY ANN STANGER

All photos are shown with permission from Wendy.


We had a very pleasant and enjoyable meeting with Wendy on Saturday.  She was very generous with information about how she created her lovely pieces.



 We had a demonstration from her on the way she created the papers that she used.  Wendy had also brought samples of the fibres that she used which were very interesting and varied.








 This last piece was created using shirring elastic and then using a steam iron held over the fabric to shrink it.  This caused a lot of discussion with members very intrigued by the technique.   A lovely afternoon.

3RD AUGUST DAY OF STITCH

We had a very pleasant day at the forest walkway at Pinchinthorpe, Guisborough on Saturday.   A number of members took part and during the day we had a good selection of customers (all children this year).

There was a choice of cards and hearts to make and colouring for youngsters and all of them had something nicely made to take home with them.

We had a lot of interest in what we were doing, some of us took our own stitching.  All in all a nice day out.

DAYSCHOOL WITH HELEN WALSH SUNDAY 7TH JULY 2019

We had a really good day with Helen on Sunday.
For a change it was quite dull outside for a lot of the day instead of our usual brilliant sunshine on a dayschool.

Many thanks to Helen for an excellent weekend.





We all seemed to get along well once we had decided which pattern we were going to try.

These two kingfishers are the right side (under the sheer fabric to give the shadow effect)  and the wrong side (quite vibrant).  Anne A.
