<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">first of all the pages - made from wallpaper lining paper - had to be well soaked, then everyone decided on the colours for painting the pages of their own book.</span></div>

<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At our first meeting of 2020 we were joined by a number of visitors and were very pleased to welcome Matthew Cox, a historian and tour guide specialising in the history of Glossop. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Matthew gave us an entertaining and absorbing talk accompanied by a presentation about the history of Glossop, especially in relation to its cotton mills and their social history. The talk will provide lots of background for our next collaborative group project based on cotton mills.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Also at the meeting was this stitched map of Glossop, including some of its many old cotton mills. The map has been skilfully stitched by our members Ann Cornes and Christine Bardsley.</span></div>

Here is some of the wonderful work you have created:</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #38761d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">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.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #38761d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #38761d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">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.</span></div>

<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After the AGM we enjoyed an interesting talk by Allison James as she took us on a journey through her life in stitching. Like many of us, when she was young Allison enjoyed lots of crafts and stitching and when she was older she attained a City & Guilds Certificate and Diploma, where she also learned the importance of design.</span></div>

<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Allison went on to tell us how her husband's photographs inform her work and have led to inspirational collaborations resulting in several bodies of work.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #38761d;">This beautiful quilt - Nature's Necklace - was inspired by the photograph of raindrops suspended in a cobweb. The raindrops were expressed on the quilt by lines of French knots:</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We were very pleased to welcome Catherine, who brought along a wonderful range of embroidery and other pieces of work which had been inspired by her interest in South African textiles. She is a regular visitor to South Africa and told us of her love for such a colourful country, and for its tribal arts using hand dyed cloth.</span></div>

<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Catherine told us of the Kaross embroidery project, which was founded as a way of bringing creative opportunities to mainly rural women. Their work reflects a passion for colour and for African culture. One of their products is hand-embroidered cushion covers and Catherine showed us some she had stitched in the style of Kaross.</span></div>

Thanks to the committee donating their time, we have been able to add to our branch funds. </span></div>

<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We were fortunate to have an original and inspirational speaker for our first meeting of 2019: Julia Wright of 'Little Stitches'. As well as producing her own work, Julia is a teacher of A Level textiles.</span></div>

<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She talked about coming from a family whose history is in textiles: knitting, weaving, crochet, and showed us a sample of her own style of knitting:</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She likes to use natural fibres and found objects and much of her work is focused on decay and deterioration:</span></div>

<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our last meeting of the year had a festive feel with members bringing along their contributions to our Christmas buffet and everyone enjoying their lunch very much, especially the meringues!

<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">At our October meeting we were visited by Joy Madden who was joined by some friends from a textile group who meet each Monday at Poynton Community Centre. Joy is a member of Manchester EG, and she told us that she has taken her City & Guilds Creative Embroidery twice!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The title of Joy's talk was 'So you want to sew?' and we were certainly given plenty of inspiration.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Poynton group includes beginners as well as experienced stitchers, and they brought along a wonderful selection of work for us to admire. Joy talked about the various techniques used in the samples. Some of them were familiar and some were not, such as the use of gelliplate printing and encaustic wax. Their projects are sometimes driven by mystery parcels which contain a selection of materials - similar to the sample packs on our own sales table.</span></div>

<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A group of Glossop branch members have spent today on a 3D needle felting workshop led by Hannah Dodd. And what a fabulous day they had, with excellent tuition and one-to-one guidance - Hannah is very generous with her advice, and her cake! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Everyone received step by step instructions for making a bird, any bird - could be a well-known songbird, a bird of prey, a bird of paradise!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here are all the birds created throughout the day - wouldn't you love to see them in your garden? Most are still awaiting some finishing touches, but you can look forward to admiring them at our next meeting on 31 October.</span></div>

<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As 2018 represents one hundred years of some women being able to vote, Glossop Arts Project felt they should celebrate the event. They invited a number of local groups, </span><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">including the Embroiderers' Guild, to take part in creating a banner</span><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> to commemorate the centenary of women's suffrage. It became a group project with each group working one of the panels.</span></div>

<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">After the celebration members of Glossop Arts Project took some beautiful flowers to the grave of Florence French who is buried in Glossop Cemetery. Florence actively campaigned for votes for women and was a leading campaigner for women's suffrage in Glossop. In 1906 she was one of the founders of Glossop Labour Club. </span></div>
