Kathleen Slinger, our longest serving member is holding an exhibition of her embroidery work, at the Tarleton Cricket Club, Carr Lane on the 16th at 2.30p.m.
It will be well worth the visit as Kathleen is a very talented lady – she studied for her City & Guilds embroidery in 1949 in Manchester and joined the Embroiderers’ Guild in spring 1950 so is certainly our oldest member (in the best possible sense) spanning 61 years of dedication to the Guild.
She is expert in many techniques especially gold work but she does seem to be able to cope with most things including some of the modern things we introduce at our monthly meetings, as well as patchwork and quilting – a true craftswoman, so do come along and see how her work has developed over the years.
There will be afternoon tea and an entry fee of £3 will be donated to the Marie Curie Cancer charity.
(How to get there – At the traffic light junction on the A565/A59 follow the signs into the village as far as the square – you will see the Library and a Pub straight ahead, immediately turn left into Gorse Lane and Carr Lane is second turning on the right – Cricket Club is on the left quite a long way down). Hope I don’t lose too many of you!!
Look forward to seeing you all.
