Sadly, I missed Joyce Bargh's talk on Chinese Embroidery in November
In December Laura Brown had prepared kits for felt Christmas tree decorations
Just look at the things on the members work table
All stunning!!
Lindsey said these had taken months to bead I'm not surprised!!! You can see the details on one of them but they were all stunning!!
Smocked Christmas baubles done by Hilary Wilson
Anne Whalley"s beautiful Christmas tree

It is great to belong to a branch like Rochdale and be able to enjoy so many aspects of textile art with like-minded people.
Our speaker in January was Liz Almond who is well know for many things but mainly her skills with blackwork. I was personally astounded when listening to her and hearing her accounts of her work and way of life. I was not surprised to hear that she is a lady who does not need a lot of sleep.
This is a part of the display of work she brought with her. If you look carefully you will see that some of the designs are conventional while others, like the shoes, are more individual and modern looking.
The sheer size of some of the pieces of work was awesome!!
Liz is generous with her advice and skills and her on-line business has many ideas for work.
Whilst she was with us she told us of her forthcoming trip to the third world to fly the flag of needle art there
Some of our members Brought along their work too
Two of them were inspired another another textile artist who has visited us, Nicola Jarvis
Liz's talk was called "Carry on Stitching"
With such as her to inspire it is a message that will be heard.
Bev Elliott lead the workshop "Encrusted stitch" In February
These are the starts made by some
Hope to see some of the finished projects on the members work table later
These were on it in February
March
We had a great time in March!
Visitors from Parbold ( Our NW chairman Sue Chisnall-Sumner and Tracey Ramsey) brought along work from the exhibition that Parbold mounted in Southport
Our own members staged a mini exhibition with examples of their work, too numerous to be shown here
but then ....
We had Afternoon tea!!!
I wouldn't mind if it became a habit!
