October meeting - starting a wall hanging for Reuben's Retreat

We had an early start to our October meeting - 10.00am, so we had extra time to work on our contributions to the wall hanging.  We were led and directed by Nikki Parmenter who is generously giving her time to design the hanging and to help us to see it through to a successful conclusion.

The wall hanging is to have a theme of 'under the sea' and, on arriving for the meeting, we were greeted by a wonderful stash of shiny, twinkly fabrics and trimmings together with a selection of templates to get us started.

Everyone started on their contribution to the panel with Nikki offering help at every step to anyone who needed it.

 

Lots of busy stitchers.  Some fabulous work was started and everyone took their piece home to carry on stitching  - now we are all waiting for the next step in making the wall hanging...!

Textiles Day at Lymefield

Glossop EG's latest Textiles Day was held at Lymefield last Saturday, 12 October.  We were very well supported by other crafts artists and members of other EG branches, and we attracted a constant flow of people who were interested in the beautiful work exhibited and for sale.

We put on a great display of our own work.  Here are some of the Travelling Books:-

And this is some of the work exhibited as 'Busy B's' - bowls, books, bags, birds, boxes, bracelets.....

We sold lots of items from the branch sales table - this is a very small selection of the Inspirations packs.



Lymefield made us very welcome and we all felt that we had a very successful day.
