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.

June Meeting

Half way through the year already and I don't feel as though I have got over Christmas yet!

The exhibition at Ayton went really well and is now continuing at Picturesque Gallery on St. John's Road, Scarborough until the 29th June.  We have had a few visitors there but I think that the majority of people know we are at Ayton now.
We are not choosing our next topic to work to until September but to keep everyone going we are starting two smaller projects.  The postcards are still popular, especially with the newer members so we will continue with that and people can dip in and out of it as they please.  The other project will be working on six stitches, one at a time, to make a stitch sampler book.  This is a useful exercise especially for those who are not traditional stitchers but also as a reminder for those who are.  We will also look at a piece of work which will be connected to the main topic but will be more focused.  So, lots to be getting on with.
There was still plenty of activity during today as people now have time to do a few things that they have been meaning to do for a while.





New member Diane was working on these lovely flower prints


Starting out on a new piece here but I can't remember whose work it is.


Christina did this sample by Jean Littlejohn  in an old Stitch magazine.  Part of the demonstration on Transfoils that we had.

My piece for the demonstration.
