At last nights meeting we took a look at some of the many images from the Lancashire Archives in Preston following our visit in May. Hopefully these will inspire some creative stitching.
Sample books from:
William
Birtwistle
Allied Mills Ltd and
British
Velvet
A few members joined artist Serena Partridge for a workshop to produce some Girl Guiding themed penenats for the luminary exhibition at Gawthorple hall. The exhibition celebrates the life of Mis Rachel Shuttleworth and her connections and passions.
Serena has mounted the finished penants onto copper shim to stiffen them and the resulting penants make an impressive display
This opportunity also brought our first recognition as Seaside Stitchers
