'Working with Maps & Found Text'
As you know we had to cancel Elizabeth’s workshop in March due to bad weather but it has now been rescheduled for Saturday 3rd August.
If you had booked for this day, please confirm with Sue Chisnall-Sumner that you can attend the new date, especially if you had not paid.
Sue is now only taking names for a reserve list.
An Updated requirements list for this Workshop is available from Sue if you have not had one.
We will be closing our current very busy year with the AGM and retirement of our joint Chairmen at this meeting and their Challenge for members this year is entitled “My Favourite Place” no bigger than A4 size – roughly 8” x 12” in ‘old money’!!! Sorry don’t do metric.
They and the rest of the committee do appreciate that you pulled out all the stops to make our exhibition a success so hope that you have a bit of energy left for a final fling on ‘My Favourite Place’.
Must admit I know what I would like to do and have put some fabrics together, but trying to gather my wits about me to get started is proving harder than I thought. Must try harder…………
The second of the ‘Galaxy’ exhibitions by this Group will open at the Bridge Gallery, Samlesbury Hall near Preston from 2nd July to 1st September which will include additional pieces to their work shown at Mere Sands, Rufford recently.
The Hall is open from 11a.m to 4p.m except Saturdays and some Fridays – please check their website on www.samlesburyhall.co.uk

Some of the work on display – can’t put names to all of them but thought they were all good examples of the title.
Can you guess the title of the last one?
