April Meeting

Listening to comments today, last months speaker and workshop by Jessica Grady, was enjoyed by all who attended.  Unfortunately, there wasn't any finished pieces on display this month so I couldn't get any photographs to show.
This month's workshop was with Elizabeth Almond who gave us an Introduction to Whitework.  I know many of the members do enjoy doing whitework, pulled and drawn threadwork and other forms of traditional hand embroidery but all those there today thoroughly enjoyed what Elizabeth brought for us.  It is good to go back to traditional stitches and remind oneself of them, it is surprising how well they sit within a piece of modern embroidery.  We also had a couple of visitors who were interested in the stitching and hopefully are now interested in joining the group.

This is a bit difficult to see but it was the design included in the pack.

Several people liked this swirl and bought the pattern.

Some of Elizabeth's own work.

Just to prove that you can stitch on anything, this is an inexpensive apron from Dunelm which Elizabeth embroidered on.
