We had a very good day at Riccall as always. There was plenty of shopping, good speakers and good food. Anthea Godfrey and Liz Smith, two of the Guilds Trustees, gave us an update on the Guild and what is happening around the country. Our morning speaker was Lizzie Wall who gave a lively talk about her work in applique. She showed us lots of pieces of her work including two magnificent chasubles one of which is photographed below.
The model is her son-in-law who had been commandeered into helping.
In the afternoon we heard Stuart Hilliard, runner up in the first Sewing Bee series. He was very amusing and kept us all in fits of laughter in the afternoon.
The competitions were well subscribed to and I have to report a success for our branch in the Coats Anchor award for 'Religion in Yorkhshire'. Mavis Renshaw's entry of a Green Man won first prize and she was delighted.
Some of the work on display in the competitions.
The Hare at the back was the winning entry for the cup.
The foxgloves at the front won the Floral Alphabet competition.
Some of the young embroiderers' entries.
The framed picture at the back was the winning entry for the Coates Anchor award.
