On Saturday 16th November members had a very exciting day with Isobel, using Paper threads and strips of many kinds to stitch a textured surface onto open weave fabrics.
Worked with white and natural ‘papers’ we stitched into and onto a variety of fabric backgrounds to create textured surfaces which could be finished by adding paints to the surfaces and when dry more stitching with coloured threads.
Below are some of the on going pieces of work –first the unpainted pieces -
followed by some painted -
We hope to show the finished effects when they have been completed – so get stitching ‘girls’ so we can see some of the end results.
A great day and thanks go to Isobel for talking us through her samples of books, bags and boxes which use this method of stitch, and Sue Chisnall-Sumner, our Programme Secretary, for organising the day.
