Unfortunately I forgot to take my camera this month and therefore I have not got any photographs of the wonderful quilts our speaker brought, nor of the experiments that were done in the mini workshop.
Members were interested to know what other people had used Lutradur for, so Christina brought along some painted Lutradur of her own together with her soldering iron and heat gun and did a mini workshop for those who were interested. It was very much appreciated and the sharing of knowledge is what the Guild is about.
The Kathleen Laurel Sage workshops are fast approaching. The Maching Embroidery Panel workshop is now full and the Stumpwork one on Friday 10th May has just 3 places left if anyone is interested.
Several members attended a workshop to learn about using their sewing machines. They learnt all sorts of useful things about tension, thread, needles, etc. Everyone agreed what a useful day it had been and some of them have booked further sessions. Kathy Selwood who runs the courses has taught and serviced sewing machines for many years and there isn't much she doesn't know about them. Even the manufacturers have consulted her!
We have got plans afoot for an exhibition next year in the Spring and to boost our funds while we wait for that, we are having a cake stall at Kirbymoorside Market on Wednesday 4th September.
An outing to Bowes Museum is planned for the 19th September where we hope to have a good look round the new textile gallery.
Our speaker was Antonella Jones who is a member of several quilting groups in Whitby and who brought lots of lovely colourful quilts for us to look at.
