TRAVELLING BOOK GILL GARROD

I think this might be the last travelling book and it belongs to Gill Garrod.  Some lovely pieces; I think we have a lot of very talented members in our branch.

Saturday 1st July ANNE MENARY FABRIC OF THE UNIVERSE

On Saturday our speaker was Anne Menary who showed us a very surprising amount of hand stitched work.   One set of four with 13 pieces in each section were done one a week over one year.  Some of them are shown below.

 All of these pieces were stitched together with herringbone stitch.  They were not padded but were quite supple so they would fold easily for storage.

These are just a selection of the work that Anne brought with her.

SATURDAY 3RD JUNE OUTING

 On Saturday 3rd June we had a branch outing to Ripon Cathedral to begin the day.  This was to view the Needle Points North panels which were on display for the first time in a number of years and also the exhibition "Perspectives".   
The Needle Points North panel (photo below) was the one made by members of Guisborough Branch in 1996 for the Year of the Arts.

After viewing the exhibition we went on to have lunch at Thirsk Garden Centre.  A beautiful sunny day and lots of members had lunch outside.
Our next stop was Mount Grace Priory to view the Lace exhibiton.  The pieces were inspired by their settings in the Priory.
We then enjoyed a leisurely walk around the Priory with a very knowledgeable guide which was a lovely end to a very pleasant day out.

Saturday's meeting

Our speaker this Saturday, 1st July, is Anne Menary, a textile artist from Derbyshire. Her talk is "Fabric of the Universe". The Sunday Dayschool she is leading is full, which is very satisfactory. The raffle colour this month is blue, so any odds and ends would be appreciated.
