A lively time at the February meeting. No, not a typo, it was lovely as well, but definitely a busy day with quite a lot going on. After morning stitch club there were demonstrations of the use of the die cutter by Pauline and Tina, followed by fabric printing from Moira. Eileen and Colleen then presented their proposals for the next round of stitch club sessions to begin at the March meeting. A choice of two super courses , slow stitching or contemporary canvas work, see below for examples of the kind of thing we'll be making in those sessions. Must add here our thanks and appreciation to Sharon and Josie for tutoring our first YES stitch clubs. There were more delightful postcards for swapping, and they were particularly impressive this time because their creators were asked to make use of just one type of stitch.
Our exhibition, A Celebration of Stitch, is to be held from 24th to 26th June and all those with responsibility for a specific role got together during the lunch break for a very useful meeting. Moira had that morning reminded members about her idea for a row of real twigs and branches to be decorated with a variety of crafted items such as leaves, berries, blossom, birds and insects and brought samples to show what she has in mind. Should look rather spectacular!
