Sketching ,stitching and teaching.


Sue had taken some inspiration from  Rita Dee and drawn some beautiful winter trees .



She is also  considering how best to work  the shells collected on  her American holiday.One idea is to  use some cotton rag paper to work on and portray a seascape in the holes.




Carol brought along her stitch piece from the Bristol Stitchers online workshop with Shelley Rhodes .
The idea is to use up lots of tiny scraps, throw nothing away , and add lots of stitch and just keep going Shelley provided a sheet of lots of ideas that she uses in her own work.We'll see what develops.



She had made use of a pattern on @sewing_schoolhouse to create this sweet little bag, there are lots of interesting ideas .This bag has a very clever construction that includes the lining ,no faffing about with cutting separate pieces!


Viv was excited to tell us about her invite to present a textile workshop to the 1904 Art Society 


She had given some thought as to what might be easiest to create ,especially as some of  the group wouldn't be familiar with textiles.She decided a layered landscape might suit. there were lots of suggestions from us and we are intrigued as to what ensues.
