May meeting - Eileen Johnson - Machine Embroidery 'Nature's Wonders'















Our May meeting was an 'in-house' special with our own Eileen Johnson giving us a worlshop on 'Nature's Wonders'.














Eileen brought along many examples of her exquisite machine embroidery. Flowers, leaves and foliage were all demonstrated in their various forms.














Eileen demonstrated many other techniques ...














... and soon everyone was hard at work producing their own 'Small Wonders'.














And, of course, the girls in the back room were equally busy.

In the afternoon Caroline Alexander, from the Harris Museum, came to talk to us about Horrockses dresses which were made in Preston.
