A.G.M.
After the business of the a.g.m, members voted to choose the winner of the Doreen Jackson award.
Out of the four entries, the piece with the most votes was a needlelace sampler in the shape of a leaf, worked by Pamela.
Below are the other three entries
It was hoped that more members might start a travelling book.Sandra will order the sketch books for anyone who wishes to join in.
Several members had brought their books so that new members could see the variety of work and hopefully be inspired to have a go.
This was our last meeting at Sylvan Avenue. Next month we will be in Bowden Vale.
Hello,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Tanya and I specialise in medeival embroidery.
my work is herehttps://opusanglicanum.wordpress.com/
I teach for several museums and galleries, including the Ashmoelan in Oxford. Since all classes and events are currently cancelled or postponed, I've created a couple of online classes to get us all through the long boring lockdown.
One is laid and couched work (bayeux style stitching) in wools, which is suitable for beginners to intermediate, and the other is a more advanced class in opus anglicanum. I'm offering an option to have a kit sent out, or a cheaper option which will be access to the digital media only (useful for stashbusting).
I wondered if this might be something your members would be interested in, and would be very grateful if you would let them know about it.
