This post is looking back to our April & May workshops. We began and continued embellishing ATC cards based on the theme for our biannual exhibition: Alice in Threadland. Details for the exhibition can be found on the Embroiderers Guild website. (Photos to come).
At the May meeting one of our members, Shirley, showed her wonderful memorial book on her Great Uncle based on her research into his life and experiences in WW1. More info is in these articles here and here.
She also attended a workshop on the “Confetti Landscape” process.

Just thought I would post a link to an article about Shirley and her fantastic memory quilt so you could “read all about it”
I posted a photo of Shirley on this blog after she did a Show and Tell at our May meeting
Well done Shirley.
