Our October meeting started with our AGM. Looks like we're having a good time?
It was prizegiving time ... Mary Holden was presented with the Trudy Goodenough trophy for her 'Tulips'
... Pat Hewitt won the Agnes Wilson prize for Surface Stitch ...
...and Sue Shepherd won the Agnes Wilson prize for Counted Thread.
Christine Chadwick won the 'Chairman's Challenge' for making a name badge.
Then on to the highlight of the day - Lizzie Wall's talk 'My Quilts and other Animals'
A pity I can't show all the photographs taken but here are some ...
... a stunning banner for South Ribble NUT. Lucky teachers!
... a close-up of a quilt featuring 'nature' ...
What a delight!
A quilt that we'd seen at the Quilt Show. Lovely shimmering fish!
This was a 'practice' / 'sample' / 'design' piece for a larger one. So much work to try out a design!
We were all very impressed by the processes which Lizzie had worked through - in depth research and meticulous design ...
... like the legends of the hares and the larkspurs on this 'Harvest' chasuble made for a Church in Aintree ...
... like the legends of the hares and the larkspurs on this 'Harvest' chasuble made for a Church in Aintree ...
... and this one featuring Our Lady Of Walsingham. Note the text which runs all around the edge of the garment.
The work was closely observed and admired.
This is a Christmas chasuble made in memory of a parishioner.
... beautiful figures of Madonna and Child ...
... and magnificent angels ...
... with glowing faces ...
... and, indeed, the lion shall lie down with the lamb.
Thanks to Lizzie for a wonderful and inspiring talk.
