Tea anyone?

We had a wonderful meeting yesterday, gathering together the finished peices of work and mounting them ready to hang this weekend at the Fritillary tea rooms in Cricklade. Here is a taster of the work on display .. to see them all ( about 25 pieces of work) you will need to go and get a cup of tea and cake at the tea rooms this weekend or maybe sometime of the next 3 weekends when they are open. Don't miss the opportunity. The fritillaries in North Meadow are particularly wonderful this year too.

March Meeting

Some wonderful examples of small stitched pieces, made by the members for our next exhibition, which will be at the tea rooms in Cricklade in April when the fritillary tea rooms are opened. For more details about the North Meadow tea rooms opening times have a look here.

February Meeting

Lots of activity and stitching at the February meeting. Details were also discussed about our next exhibition.
It is going to be in the Cricklade tearooms on the weekends of the fritillary walks in April. To find out more about Cricklade and the Fritillaries click here.

We also discussed the next West Country Embroiderers Exhibition which is taking place in Brockenhurst, 6th - 18th August ... details here

The exhibition is " My Dream" so next month we will be concentrating all our energies into that.

This is going to be a busy year.

January meeting

The January meeting was well attended. New membership subs were paid and the AGM also took place.
There was lots of time to catch up with our own work and it was lovely to chat with everyone and see the work produced for the next exhibition which is taking place in the Cricklade fritillary tea rooms in April. Watch this space for news.

The exhibition was officially opened by the Mayor of Swindon and his wife. The 54 displayed works of art have been created by 21 artists, and are sympathetically arranged in the State rooms.

The work is very varied, from contemporary to traditional to experimental. something for everyone to enjoy. The exciting part will be to try and identify what in Lydiard inspired the artist. Some sketchbooks are also on show. All members also made a bug as part of the trail for children to follow in the house.
