Sorry I couldn’t get to the May meeting but I just want to thank Ruth Turner for what a hear was a very clear and useful session learning to cover beads. Unfortunately I have no photos so I’m going to post one of the picture I sewed using the components I made at the Julia Wright workshop.
Our financial year runs from May to April which means subscriptions are due once again by the 5th May meeting. We would kindly ask all members and people wishing to join to pay by BACS. I will not be at the May meeting.

The meeting on May 5th will be a hands-on event. Ruth Turner was asked how she did her embroidered beads and so has consented to show us all how it’s done. Please bring with you your usual sewing kit (scissors, needles and 6 stranded threads) Ruth will provide the beads.
We had a really interesting, fun and busy workshop today. Julia showed us how she makes the individual components for her landscapes and then shared how she puts them together in various shapes and combinations.
The next meeting will be on April 7th at 2pm in Alsager Library meeting room. The speaker is Julia Wright and her topic is “An exploration of my Ideas & Techniques & my Inspiration”. Have a quick look at her website on juliawright.co.uk to get a flavour of her work.
The list has now opened for the workshop on 11th April. The workshop is held at the United Reformed Church Hall, Brookhouse Road, Alsager, ST7 2PA from 10am - 4pm, £40 for members, £50 for visitors.
Sorry if this is a bit hard to read but have a look on www.juliawright.co.uk
A really interesting and informative talk today by Jane Thomas on the history of pearl buttons. They have been used by music hall performers and costermongers to decorate their clothing since the 1870’s and the Pearly Kings and Queens have dressed in their regalia since then to raise money for charities.
