"A Stitch in Time", Aintree, Liverpool. April 2010

For our theme 2009/2010 we chose " A Stitch in Time".

Much of our work , and our group project were based on an old embroidered Chinese Panel, depicting trees, butterflies, chrysanthemums and birds.

We included other work , within the broader theme of
" A Stitch in Time".

We had some kind and encouraging feedback from this exhibition in our comments book:

"How inspiring! What a wonderful display"
"Exquisite work.A wonderful treat to see this. Thank you"
"So lovely, interpretations are stunning"

We would like to thank all those that gave us so much encouragement

"Handbags and Gladrags", Aintree, Liverpool, April 2009


	Every year or two we choose a new topic and work on a group project in addition to our individual pieces. This theme was "Handbags and Gladrags". We all started with a commercially made black or white felt bag to alter and decorate.

Eccles Farm 2007
"The Written Word" was the theme for this exhibition. Our group project this time was cushions, made with materials given to us by the husband of a member who had died during the previous year. We were able to raise money for a relevant charity by the sale of these cushions.

Some work from this exhibition is shown below.
