Our April meeting featured a workshop by our chairman, Val, who showed us how to make a canvaswork scissor-keeper. Val's workshops are always very hands-on, and this one involved us learning 'Norwich Stitch', new to me, and to others, too, I suspect. It did demand concentration, and silence reigned for a while as we got to grips with the stitch itself. It turned out to be the ideal stitch for the project, of course, and the beautiful space-dyed threads that Val had chosen for us complemented it perfectly.
At least one person had made the little scissor keeper before lunch, but most of us worked on, and some had to take it home to complete. It was a lovely relaxed session, once we'd mastered 'the stitch', and normal chatting was resumed after lunch. Pictures below of work in progress..................... and thanks to Val for something new. (And another stitch to feature on the sampler, which is needed soon!)
