Amazingly for once the sun shone on us as we travelled to our monthly meeting. Must be Spring.
Jac had brought along most of the Magellan strips with the images already tacked on, and she gave us a quick demo of how to stitch them onto the backing. We had a go at sewing, and those of us who are able took away our strips ready to get on with sewing. More strips are available from Jac between meetings if you’re a quick sewer. It was wonderful to see the scroll beginning to take shape - we’re getting there! Thanks to everyone who has contributed in whatever way, we’ll try to acknowledge you when exhibiting.
The rest of our meeting was led by Julie, and we made a book/wallet from Hedi Kyle, which is really great as a travel diary/sketchbook. We all managed to complete the book, a tribute to Julie’s skills as teacher.
Our next meeting will be on Saturday April 2nd at the Quaker meeting house in Liverpool. It’s a lovely space and fully accessible, and you would be most welcome to join us.
First visit is free, and currently £5 a month thereafter.
