Redwork


    We're all looking forward to the very first meeting of Alsager Creative Stitchers. 

The first meeting on Tuesday 6th October 2015 will be a hands - on session . We will be doing some small sample pieces using the redwork technique. Bernice Blakemore will be guiding us through this technique. Bring a sewing kit with essentials like scissors,needles and red thread with you.
Fabric will be supplied.
Bernice Blakemore,Chris Durston and Mary Bridge have made some beautiful redwork items . They are pictured above. The original ideas were found in some beautiful books written by Mandy Shaw and Rebecca Kemp Brent.
Don't worry we will start with simple things !!!

We plan to have monthly meetings at Alsager Library.During the meetings we will have speakers, workshops and hands-sessions. It is an opportunity to learn new skills, meet new friends and share mutual interests. The group will run as a cooperative and will be very informal.
Meetings will be held at Alsager Library, first floor on the first Tuesday of every month. There is disabled access and free parking behind the library.
