For our July meeting we had a 'Sit and Stitch' where we all got on with our own projects and had a sociable day. We do not meet in August and we did not arrange a group outing this year but many ideas were shared for exhibitions for us to go to if we were able.
July also saw a Free Motion Embroidery workshop that was taught by our chair, Maggie. we had the use of the quilting room at Little Sew n Sew at the Craft Village in Studley Grange Little Sew N Sew | Quilting Company Swindon. Great fun was had by all who attended. We were shown many techniques, including sewing on dissolvable fabric. Lots of ideas to incorporate into future work.
Maggie also brought along some amazing work that she had produced using the technique - including a life drawing done entirely by free motion embroidery!
Here are some pictures of the day.
