Next Meeting

 10:00am Wednesday August 18th - Stitch Morning

Weather permitting we are meeting up in Grassington National Parks Car Park. You will find the group sitting in the field at the far end of the car park.

It will be a chance to exchange ideas and be inspired. Please bring something you are working on at the moment.

We welcome all those interested in joining this Creative Textile Group and will resume meetings in September at the Rugby Club in Threshfield.

The photographs below have been sent from one of our members who has made a "memorabilia" book for her friends birthday present. It is full of little pockets to tuck things in, like photos, tickets and special trinkets.











Exchanging Ideas

 



The Grassington Textile Art Group enjoyed a beautiful August morning working outside, chatting and exchanging ideas. While some were continuing with Ann Barrans expressive stitch samplers, 







others were dabbling with crazy patchworks.

Ideas for wet felted pieces from last month included warm but elegant finger less gloves.

Felted stones with added embellished texture.

Decorative needle case



Plans are to return to our inside venue in September at the Rugby Club in Threshfield. We welcome new members at our first meeting and remind present members we will be asking for the annual subs on this date. We have an excellent and exciting programme all arranged which includes "Adventures in Painting and Stitch" with Richard Box and "Experimental Embroidery" with Elnaz Yazdini.
