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.

February Meeting

Am a bit late doing this, it will soon be our March meeting but better late than never.

We were all very shocked and saddened at the sudden death of Barbara Douglas, one of our original members.  She was very supportive of the group and hardly ever missed a meeting.  Her work was beautiful and she embraced modern techniques as well as traditional embroidery.  Our thoughts are with the family.
Another quiet day still getting over Christmas and the wild weather we have been subjected to.  It didn't stop everyone beavering away at their work.  We have started a new stitch to work with and this time it is straight stitch.  Hoping to see lots of different ways of working with that.

Jan dyed her fabric by standing tea bags on it to dry and so creating these lovely patterns

This was one of Anne's dried leaves that she painted and touched with gold then waxed to keep it flexible.



Another Ann was tacking together this lovely quilt.


Diane has done this lovely depiction of the Victoria Falls

I think this was Christine's work.  Love the eyelashes!
