Christmas Lunch at Dalemain

Nearly December already! Just a reminder......... Lunch at Dalemain is this Thursday; the plan is , to meet up at Rheged at 11am for coffee, and to organise lifts , should anyone need them or, be at Dalemain itself by 11.55, to eat at 12 noon. A small embroidery-related gift can be entered into the gift exchange!

Look at this site!

Just wandering through from one site to another, I came across this one. www.onestepon.co.uk It houses the web pages of a group of textile artists, and shows examples of their very varied work. As we missed our bag-making day, you might like to get some inspiration from some of these examples! You need to click on the artist to see their work So far, I have drooled over bags made by Sandie Maher, and Ann Christy. Worth a peek!

Floods

The November meeting had to be cancelled, of course, and in the light of what happened next in Keswick and Cockermouth, it seems a very minor disappointment. Maybe we'll be able to do that workshop in the future.

Val has provided me with an example of a stitch sampler, to post, showing the idea behind her 'Chairman's Challenge.' It has a stitch, or technique inspired by each of our meetings this year.(In our case, this will be a mere nine motifs!) I will try soon to link this picture to a larger version, so that you can see it in more detail, but in the meantime, you get the idea!

Programme Changes

I will miss the bag-making session, sadly, but hope you all have an inspiring day! Please note the changes to this year's programme, set out on the right. Also, note that the felted jewellery session in January will be held at Threlkeld Village Hall rather than at the Friends' Meeting house.
