Branch meeting June 20th 2019 calico gardens with Liz Almond

 Branch meeting 20th June 2019 

Calico gardens with Liz Almond


How lucky we have been to have two successive branch meetings led by the  multi-talented Liz Almond.
Last month she led a day school concerning pulled threads in blackwork but this month, in spite of having a troubled month of family problems, she arrived with numerous examples of her take on calico gardens.

As the workshop progressed Liz explained the rational behind the examples and very clearly explained the possibilities available using the kit she had provided.

Everyone was soon busy creating their own calico gardens, encouraged at every step by Liz




Members work table

Some of the things on the work table showed examples of work inspired by Liz Almond on her previous visits but others illustrated the depth of talent amongst the members







Our very talented vice chairmen is here modelling the jacket she has made which is embellished with Kogin embroidery





We have a break from branch meetings until September but hope that members and visitors will join us at st Andrew's church for National stitch day this coming Saturday, 22nd June and for the Cream tea on Saturday 13th July
