October 2018

Roberta is embroidering routes on a printed map after her visit to Oxford to see the Tolkien exhibition

Elise - hand embroidered hearts in progress for part of an exhibition at Wightwick Manor 
Dawn is working on a lovely dyed felt in a selection of hand embroidered stitches including couching
Elaine's Christmas project - embroidered dolls
Pat P continues to design using her collection of French windows and doors 
Clare's hanging for the project at Boundary way. Snippets left by the artists at boundary way including paper and a teabag

Lillian painting in her colour book and... 
Stitching... A lovely book cover 
Lorraine in the early stages of painting her fabric... 
So, our next project to be worked is "on a roll".
We will be painting, dyeing, printing, embellishing and sewing a metre or two of narrow fabric which will roll around a wooden cotton reel. Ruth is modelling one she made earlier for Wightwick Manor exhibition based on 1918
Lorraine's example of using a pearl button and a strap to secure the end of the roll when finished
Jay is working on her roll by using "friendship" and Fred her dog as the source

Lorraine at the end of the day... Looking beautiful Lorraine 
We can now begin our spool project by choosing any topic, in any colour scheme, bearing in mind the fabulous work that has gone on in the last year for design and the use of colour.
