Back to the stitching guild

For the first time in months, I didn't have another event in conflict with the Embroiderers' Guild, so I went to the membership meeting.

The project was a kit of a detail from the Bayeux Tapestry, which features the Bayeux stitch, a very cool mixture of long stitches, with anchoring stitches holding them in place. Outlined in stem stitch, it's a great filling for narrative embroidery.

Carol P taught the workshop, and brought in a wonderful stitching she had done of a segment from the Tapestry. She provided the kits and backup information, and created an engrossing program









And members showed other work; here's Florence K, with a beaded felt applique and



a special artwork finished since  I last saw her


Saasha showed me this amazing work in progress


The afternoon, during which I was crocheting, may have rekindled my interest in stitching!

Nice to be back in the group again.
