MONDAY WORKSHOP 8TH APRIL

Our workshop on Monday is a small goldwork piece that will fit nicely on a small easel.
Lynda J. is leading the workshop.

Please bring your sewing kit, small piece of plain fabric about 6" x 7" tacked onto a supporting fabric and an embroidery hoop.

If you have any gold seed beads or bugles and gold threads please bring these as well and  also a beading needle.

SATURDAY 6TH APRIL 2019

Our speaker for Saturday was Priscilla Edwards and her topic Make Do And Mend. 
Priscilla gave us a very interesting talk starting with what she had covered on her degree course and all the different items she had used to create her pieces including plastics, papers and all sorts of things from all over including charity shops and items gathered by friends.

Since then she still uses found objects and items donated from anywhere and everywhere.

Anyone who has Stitch magazine number 76 there is a step by step guide to making one of her pieces titled  " Just your cup of tea".   It's on my list of to do's.

THE GUISBOROUGH PRIORY PROJECT

We were asked by the Guisborough Priory Project team if we would make them a banner to celebrate the 900 years of Guisborough Priory.
 
Sue C.  came up with a design very quickly which was shown to our members at the next Monday workshop.  After giving the design a few tweaks it was presented to the Priory team who were delighted with it and asked us to make the banner.

The process of choosing and dyeing fabrics, making stencils for the medieval tiles and choosing which flowers to embroider is well under way and we hope to hand out the pieces to start stitching at the next branch meeting.
