April workshop - Stumpwork















Our April workshop was with Anne Read who came to teach us the intricacies of Stumpwork.














She kept everybody very well occupied ...














throughout the day. We were inspired by some of the exquisite things she had brought to show us ...














... pictures ...















... and boxes ...















... fuschias ...



















... and bags ...















... dragonflies ...














... requiring very careful stitching.














There was lots of help and assistance from Anne to help us over the difficult bits.















And, of course, the 'girls in the back room' were hard at it as usual.



















And here are our Young Embroiderers' finishing off their entry for the Regional Day.

The good news is that they won! Again!!!

As did our own Jackie Cardy who came away once again with the Coats prize for Embroidery.
