'Consequences' describes a way of starting to stitch on blank fabric. We were all given a piece of hand-dyed fabric with six squares drawn on to it. We had 15 mins (yes, fifteen minutes!) to work chain stitch into the first square. Fifteen minutes isn't very long when you are having trouble in threading your needle .....
Then the alarm rang and we were instructed to work blanket stitch or buttonhole stitch into the second square - the member in the photo above has used this stitch as an opportunity to add a shisha mirror. After fifteen minutes the alarm rang again.
We were then given fifteen minutes to work fly stitch into the next square, changing to herringbone stitch for the fourth square, leaving the remaining two squares to be worked at home.
In the work in the right-hand photograph, chain stitch has been worked in the shape of a flower.
Members also brought in their embroideries for the Harry Ousey collective work - they all looked very impressive, even before they are stitched together as in the original painting.
Those members who attended the recent Felting workshop also brought in their completed felts, and there was a good selection of Travelling Books to choose from - for those who wished to contribute there was a good range of subjects.
