About Me

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.

March Meeting

Today a few of us started putting together the postcards for the exhibition.  They look stunning once they are all together.  Just waiting for a few more to come in.

Here is a poster for our exhibition with all the information for Ayton and Picturesque gallery. Hope you can read it OK.




Everyone else was working on pieces for the the exhibition and things are moving along well.  It was a lovely sunny day and a shame to be inside but we enjoy our day working away.


Christina's shells are lovely


Some rusting been going on here.


Christine's high seas which morph into a sea serpent is coming on really well.


Shame this didn't photograph so well but it is Ann's tiny pieces of work attached to a larger fabric.

February Meeting

I hadn't forgotten to do the blog  for February, I have just been so busy this last week with my daughter here for half term, we have been out and about enjoying tea and cake as much as possible.
We had an enjoyable meeting with lots of work going on for the exhibition and lots of arrangements sorted for it.  Posters are printed so if anyone wants one, just get in touch with me.  Unfortunately it won't upload onto this site.

Beach huts on the Yorkshire coast.


I think Helen is working on her 'Cargoes' piece, one of these looks like a 'stately Spanish galleon'


Carolyn has returned to the plaster work technique we learnt with Maggie Smith.


Christine has gone for a fun collection of work using the idea of the family going on holiday to the seaside.


This is the start of the postcards coming in for mounting on strips of canvas which will then be hung on display boards for the exhibition.  Always an interesting moment when we see the postcards we didn't get and everyone's interpretations.
