February
Although I have been lucky enough to listen to a talk by the textile artist Elizabeth Wall I was unable to attend the February meeting when she spoke to our guild. Judging from later comments she was as entertaining and inspiring as when I listened to her.meeting.
March
I was also absent from the March meeting when the two workshops were led by our own members Helen Jackson ( making delightful cards using hydrangea petals) and Barbara Fairhurst who taught the skill of ribbon embroidery.
April
Some Rochdale Members were to become familiar with Nicola Jarvis in April for she presented her interesting talk "The art of embroidery inspired by William and May Morris"
both to the branch and to the audience at Regional day to which over twenty of our members went. ( she is also to take our July day school)
The regional day was at Lancaster at the old St Martin's college, now the University of Cumbria. It was a great day with interesting speaker, some lovely exhibitions, a great raffle and Tombola, some good trade stalls and a lovely lunch in a dining room with an awesome view over Morecambe Bay and up to the lakes.
Well done the Lancaster branch.
The icing on the cake that day was that Pat Blincoe won the Coats embroidery prize with her lovely picture shown below.
May
The May workshop was led by Marie Coulman
Everyone had enormous fun and displayed their creativity by making "Inchies" which had been painstakingly prepared by Marie.
