February 2024 Stitch Club - Embroidery on Photos

UPDATE:

Kathy has suggested that you print your photos onto white card, rather than photo paper.  It's much easier to work on and it won't need backing for stability. 

Our next stitch club will be on Saturday 17th February, at the Thomas Garett  Buildings, Heighington, starting at 10:00 am and going through until 3:00 pm.

Kathy will be showing us how to embroider on photographs.

Requirements List

• Black and white photos
• Embroidery threads
• Basic sewing kit
• Awl / hat pin / darning needle to pre-prick out holes for embroidery
• Self-healing cutting mat

If you don't have all the items, Don't go out and buy it, we can share between us.

Kathy will bring a supply of black and white photos if you don't have any, and will also bring a supply of card to back the photos and add stability.

If you are unable to print off your photos, please email them to: sojourner@virginmedia.com and Kathy will print them off for you.

Below are a couple of examples that Kathy has done, and some further examples from Pinterest:

Cost £5 for members, £10 for non-members.  Please bring a packed lunch.  Tea / coffee / biscuits will be provided.

Please let Judith know if you are planning to attend (judithsnaith51@gmail.com), so we have an idea of numbers.

We look forward to seeing you there. 

Look What We Did Today!

 For our January stitch club we again had Robyn Smith, showing us how to needle felt either a landscape, scene or animal.  The event was well attended, and below is some of the work that was completed:

As you can see, we are a talented bunch!!!!!
