Some of the Hearts in Liverpool

Alice Kettle at the Whitworth

I went to the Whitworth to look at my tree - no chance. There are so many trees and so little time! I shall have to go again.  It will be worthwhile as I found the huge pieces by Alice Kettle to be mesmerising.

September 1st Meeting

Tori Riley gave us an excellent talk about the origins and uses of Batik.  She gave us a vivid picture of life in Indonesia and the importance of Batik textiles. We are lucky to have signed Tori up to lead a batik workshop early in 2019.

Here are some of the hearts from the Day of Stitch.  Please finish yours (new  ones welcome) by the November meeting. Suffragettes, Places, Events have a go.

Alice Kettle

September 1st will see the opening of the Thread Bearing Exhibition at the Whitworth Art Gallery. Some of us have embroidered trees for the work that Alice Kettle has put together and this will be your chance to try find your individual tree in the forest that she has created.

The Whitworth has other excellent embroidery on show - see the Current Exhibition section for more details

September Meeting

There will be a sales table on Saturday morning.  It is your opportunity for you to have a clear out. You can bring a threads, fabric pieces, and other small items you wish to sell. Of course, it is an opportunity to buy lots of things that you are going to "need" to add to all the rest!
Tables will be cleared in time for our afternoon speaker - Tori Riley on Batik.
See you there.
