About Me

East Ayton, Scarborough, North Yorkshire
A group of ladies who enjoy traditional embroidery but who meet once a month to try some experimental work. We meet at Ayton Village Hall on the third Thursday in the month for a full day and again on the first Thursday for half a day. We currently have a waiting list of people who want to join us.

January Meeting

Into the new year now and the exhibition is creeping closer.  Planning is going ahead quite well although my brain still keeps trying to tell me it is a long way off yet.
Today we did some experimenting with such things as lutradur, tyvek and other heat dissolvable fabric and also using expandaprint and moulding paste as resists.  It's always useful to have a go at these things before going out and buying them and then finding you don't like them.  Christine was also trying out angelina fibres for a lovely piece of work she is producing.


Christina has been working on crab pots.



Some painted and heated lutradur


Ann has been busy making lots of samples of ammonites and also this lovely blue rock pool using a marbling bath.


Cath's lovely ammonite will probably be on our poster this year.
