We have several members who are part of three exhibiting groups within the Branch – Natural Progression; One Step On and Preston Threads. They will all be holding exhibitions this year – the first of which is shown below.
21st to 24th MARCH
PRESTON THREADS AT THE FASHION & EMBROIDERY SHOW, N.E.C. BIRMINGHAM
“Evolving Threads”
An exciting exhibition of current work based on individual themes from members of Preston Threads. The work has evolved from recording and observing subjects over a period of time; the resulting work capturing these observations in interesting and innovative ways. The exhibits demonstrate a modern approach to a wide range of textile techniques including machine and hand stitch, dyeing, patchwork, knitting, mixed media and three dimensional work.
Our website gives more information about current members and images of their work

I am the only remaining member of this group now who belongs to our Branch, and the piece shown below is entitled “Twelve Weeks – Decay” – based on the life of a tulip bulb and what happens when it dries out after blooming so beautifully in the spring.
One of my pieces is this stitched paper collagraph I made based on the papery brown outer bulb skin.
I will be stewarding at the show on Thursday 21st so do come and have a chat.
