September 2018 - "Design and Stitch"

The start of a new academic year, so we kicked off on the development of our design in the Colour Books 
 Jude discussed and illustrated; spacing*changing direction*layering motifs*changing the size of the motif*monochrome vs polychrome*having a focus window*using stitches in the drawing
 Dawn's whitework tile for the exhibition at Wightwick Manor
Di's blouse with wonderful quotes for Wightwick

 Pat W.  Votes for women tile, also for Wightwick
Elise and Roberta worked on their rusting pieces... 
... using stitch, metal objects...
... and tea. Samples on fabric and on paper below
Today we saw Annie's large patchwork which has grown over the months into... 
... a very large organic piece of work to be proud of



 We were all cheered by Annie's work. It has grown into something very special
We are in the early stages of thinking about our next group presentation
We have had jigsaw puzzle pieces, Hundertwasser houses, Elephants and Art dresses
One nice idea is the bobbin/Cotton reel project like Margaret B. 
WATCH THIS SPACE AND START THINKING LADIES
