Exhibition success!

 Thanks to the team who worked hard to organise our exhibition and all those who volunteered for stewarding, we had a great response and it was really lovely to see everyone's lockdown stitching. Here's a flavour of what was on display including SALs, workshop pieces and everything in-between; I didn't manage to get everything but I think there's a good representation here. I particularly like the plague mask Christine produced - very apt! Thanks also to everyone who paid us a visit, hope you found something you liked or to inspire you.

A flurry of activity!

We've had a great team of members who spent Thursday putting up our exhibition, which opens today. It's lovely to see what people were up to during the lockdown. Here's a before peek. More pictures to follow after the exhibition closes.

There's also been a flurry of activity on the Anne Brooke tag front with tags on tags and tassels.

Exhibition 29th-30th October

 Don't forget to visit our exhibition of lockdown stitching! We'd love to see you.

Brazilian Embroidery

 This month Claire led a workshop on Brazilian Embroidery. This technique was new to many members but it was a really enjoyable morning and a new skill was learnt! This was a workshop led by a group member and one of a series of such workshops where we share our own particular skills and knowledge with the rest of the group; we all have particular interests and it's great to share with others, so we are including these workshops (some full day some half day) in our programme alongside outside speakers/workshops. Check out what's coming up on the Programme tab.

October round up - indigo and bullion knots!

 October's colour was indigo in our 4" square challenge, it's always lovely to see what people come up with.

And then there's bullion knots in the 52tagshannemade stitch along. I think we may have some converts! I for one love bullion knots - once I got to grips with them; a bit of practice and they become addictive. If you think they're not for you, persist, you might be surprised!
