Next Meeting: July 3rd, Stitch Morning followed in the afternoon with a talk from Catherine Hill at 1:30 pm.

 

During the morning there will be an opportunity to exchange our "emerald green, idealistic and natural pieces" and select the next month's colour and prompt cards for us to work on and exchange on Wednesday 7th August. 



Catherine Hill will be our guest speaker in the afternoon. Hand embroidered text forms the foundation of all Catherine’s work. Using cotton cloth, vintage Sylko threads and traditional embroidery techniques she documents memories and Lancashire's social history. Catherine composes the narratives then stitches them. With each stitch she recreates the rhythm of her own handwriting. In this talk, Catherine shares her journey into textiles and explains the stories behind her artwork.
