  UPDATES

 

It seems a long time since I last posted anything

on this Blog, due to various computer glitches and refurbishment of my workroom in which

my P.C is housed.

I thought I would just show a few pictures to cover the meetings missed since the last post

Sewing Days

After several members said how much they had enjoyed spending a few hours sewing together at the National Sewing Day, We decided that we would like to continue the experience.

Members volunteer to host the afternoon sessions which usually last from 2.0pm to 4.0pm. on agreed dates.

Joan Smith will be hosting the next session on Monday March 19th from 2-4pm.

The pictures below are from our last meeting at Sandra’s house

Silk Squares

Our speaker in June was Rubina Porter, who described to us her work at the Sreepur Village Project.

Amongst the items that she had on display was a silk embroidered quilt, which was not for sale. When we expressed some interest in it Ruby invited us to embroider a square.We took 20 squares and stitched a flower of our choice on each.

The squares will be put together by the ladies at Sreepur  to make a quilt that will be auctioned or raffled for fundraising.

The squares were posted after Christmas and I received an e-mail from Ruby to say thank you to everyone, and how lovely she thought they looked.

December Meeting

This month Kathryn Thompson came to show us some of her wonderful "Dolls with Attitude,"and they definitely had plenty. Kathryn was even wearing some

There was lots of very good information on the tecniques that she used, as well as some special tools and fabrics.

She told us how she made them stand, and how she made  the hinged dolls.

This doll is being used as a book illustration.

Johnny Depp or Charles 1st

This lady has more attitude than most.

To go with the exhibition, many members had worked hard to produce small items for sale.We were again given the use of the Altrincham Onwards premises to set up our sales table,

and  members took turns on duty during the week of the sale.

Our own members made a great contribution to the successs of the sale.Any remaining items were on sale after our A.G.M.

Many thanks are due to Diana,our secretary who worked extremely hard to make it a success.

She is shown here with a  customer.
