It was a beautiful sunny afternoon and our speaker, Moira Neal, was equally bright.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Her presentation was inspiring and the result of careful planning, it was a detailed explanation of the title "A View from my Kitchen Window and how it inspired a quilt". The quirky quilt was displayed and the detail astonishing.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Moira's talk was accompanied by pictures she had taken, mainly during "lockdown", and how they developed and were used in the quilt. The behaviour of creatures in her garden was fascinating. Lots of practical tips and explanations of techniques were also explained.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Kathy Francis</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Moira's Quilt</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

She added torchon lace made by her mother, a skilled lacemaker. Moira has a preference for appliqué and she usually machine quilts in her individual style using black threads, a technique she has taught in workshops. </span></div><div><p><span style="background-color: #fefefe; color: #414141; font-family: verdana;"><span style="background-color: white; color: black;">Moira Neal is a free machine artist and she loves to up cycle old cotton sheets to use in her work. She enjoys dyeing, printing, stamping, marbling and appliqueing them to create her own unique cloth. She no longer makes large bed quilts and now concentrates on making quirky work which she can use for her range of greetings cards. </span></span></p><p><span style="background-color: #fefefe; color: #414141; font-family: verdana;"><span style="background-color: white; color: black;"><br /></span></span></p></div>Sue Skeltonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17714617372600024972noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694660266828934223.post-66458659692139730782024-02-06T02:37:00.000-08:002024-02-06T02:37:11.755-08:00Speakers<p><span style="font-family: verdana;"> Please note that there have been changes to the Speakers for 2024.</span></p>Sue Skeltonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17714617372600024972noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694660266828934223.post-75116151880010287882024-01-26T00:49:00.000-08:002024-01-26T00:49:50.145-08:00February Meeting<p> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;">The February meeting will start with the Annual General

£5. </span><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; padding: 0cm; text-transform: uppercase;"> </span><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; padding: 0cm;">As our insurance requires that visitors can only
attend up to 2 meetings a year before joining as members. It was agreed
to highlight this to attendees at the AGM ie visitors are required to
join (ie pay the balance of membership subscription after attending two
meetings), if they wish to come to future meetings. </span></p>

and £35 for non-members. However, more expensive speakers and those providing
materials will be £35 for members, £40 for non-members. </span><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #242424; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; padding: 0cm;">The Committee have also agreed that we will require full
payment up front for future workshops. Due to the high costs
involved it’s sensible to ensure they are viable before we go ahead
with the booking, which I hope you will understand.</span></p>

When she her sister left home in 1999 her bedroom became their mother's sewing room and eventually the base for a fabric business, specialising in Batik fabrics. Since then Hannah's Room has grown and grown. Roxanne took over from her mother eight years ago. She juggles a busy family life, as she is the mother of 4 children, with running Hannah's Room. She is keen to show her children the pride in working hard as well as the value of quality time together.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">She is passionate about Hannah's Room and all that the business does. They only stock the best quality of Indonesian Batik Fabrics. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">She is keen to constantly improve the experience for her customers whether that is online, at shows, talks and workshops.</span></p><div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: rgba(77, 21, 92, 0.75); font-family: "Josefin Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.6px; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white;"> </span></div>Sue Skeltonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17714617372600024972noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694660266828934223.post-13893605492132497722023-10-20T04:07:00.000-07:002023-10-20T04:07:50.372-07:00October Meeting<p><span style="font-family: verdana;">We had an enjoyable evening listening to Pascale's talk and she advised us that although she did not use her artistic skills for her occupation, she has always painted in her leisure time. About five years ago she acquired a sewing machine and taught herself how to use it and started making quilts and small hangings. She tried lots of different techniques and fabrics and eventually decided that she liked silk fabric best as when it was painted the results were very vibrant. She has incorporated her artistic skills, used for painting, into her designs for her quilted pieces. Once the design is created she then uses quilting to enhance her work.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">She showed us a number of pieces of work that she has made over the last few years and the detail of the quilting is beautiful and definitely needs closer examination. At the end of the talk she encouraged us to look her work and was quite happy to let us touch and examine it.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Some photos of her work are shown below.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

font-size: medium;">Our speakers in September are Janet and Kate from Traverse and the title of their talk is "Looking Sideways".</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Traverse is a well established group of mixed media artists. They are set up to create work, often using diverse themes as a starting point, with a view to seeking out opportunities to exhibit at a professional and exhibition level. They use a variety of techniques including stitch, felting, painting, yarns, metallic elements etc and have exhibited at the NEC and the Big Textile Show, as well as locally. All the members of the group use some form of textiles in their work.</span></p>Sue Skeltonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17714617372600024972noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694660266828934223.post-15348439927141948532023-07-15T07:47:00.001-07:002023-07-15T07:47:14.687-07:00July Meeting<p><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>Our July speaker, Suzie Duncan, began her story tracing her career, working on micro biology. She described her progress through association with several well known fabric developers and designers. As a child, like so many of us, she had sewn and she gradually became more involved with textiles.</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Suzie is currently known as a presenter on Sewing Street. She brought many work samples but says she doesn't really own many actual quilts. She is really keen on bags and matching accessories and makes items to showcase new fabric ranges. Suzie ended with a really hard quiz but in the end we all had a reward.

Her positive attitude to her own experiences was refreshing as well as a little reminder of what many of us did at that time.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">The positive slant covered teaching her 17 year old grand-daughter to drive on relatively quiet roads while delivering the items she had produced for the NHS and care homes. Even her array of colourful and often numerous face masks led to an artistic arrangement, not to mention her personal ones hung on a useful rack made from recycled materials.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">She was also energetic and imaginative in the kitchen producing a variety of preserves from surplus fruits.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Moira brought her colourful and attractive cards and led a successful workshop earlier in the day as well as large quilts.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Her entertaining style gave us a very enjoyable evening and a positive feast for the eyes.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Kathy Francis</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-EPlrYH6YkdNHg2lVolO6XLvnfPxfBK_TCM63III_NOOkkIok2SEG9I3b-xSzol7RsfJdr13OCoZpIkq5aYr5VGZc1eAYrgHZRHUKLA4_W7MbBYSpAV8gF0CJiKnk5fJLWHgLUx3fIh0B-_EGdngpB_LzCCE4C5Wn4OZG9jW1TQd4N_wRoLDNA5Ouog/s4032/IMG_0352.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-EPlrYH6YkdNHg2lVolO6XLvnfPxfBK_TCM63III_NOOkkIok2SEG9I3b-xSzol7RsfJdr13OCoZpIkq5aYr5VGZc1eAYrgHZRHUKLA4_W7MbBYSpAV8gF0CJiKnk5fJLWHgLUx3fIh0B-_EGdngpB_LzCCE4C5Wn4OZG9jW1TQd4N_wRoLDNA5Ouog/w640-h480/IMG_0352.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivBgIYlzV9ElYy7h8m_DuGxMOB79WEBpc-2A-aFsPmVAmogNZ-cO4XYPjfx9GGq6ZaxTYsLegF5ZwWzlUakXTm4uQzdjm0hbVPDE4Kk5T9Y94gj-BKJvevtwtcFQimbzJAl8G0PguupgvsBxfwtBGibx9XfEgqvmAtsdiYWqCHwcjue5vO3Cw-aGn7Yw/s4032/IMG_0353.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivBgIYlzV9ElYy7h8m_DuGxMOB79WEBpc-2A-aFsPmVAmogNZ-cO4XYPjfx9GGq6ZaxTYsLegF5ZwWzlUakXTm4uQzdjm0hbVPDE4Kk5T9Y94gj-BKJvevtwtcFQimbzJAl8G0PguupgvsBxfwtBGibx9XfEgqvmAtsdiYWqCHwcjue5vO3Cw-aGn7Yw/w480-h640/IMG_0353.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><p></p>Sue Skeltonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17714617372600024972noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694660266828934223.post-75673640065950548312023-03-25T08:45:00.003-07:002023-03-25T08:45:49.201-07:00April Meeting 5th April 2023 7.00pm<p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"> </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRU20Fq2CJSoIIJmx8W2peUwGaOBCHmwLu2Cm274avur7zGh2HgtA9M8ebGw6PQwxkaEKaJRibCI48HyXHd1sb-JWEhIsmAH7i7GAN3SjX4DAkwoeOiiQTxQlEe8QrE0qqV7H7_yHugekistuoKU3Fnj_n7UVtDCTut3wwQnfndiI3lddGsgwPEHxrCg/s1170/Moira%20Neal.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="769" data-original-width="1170" height="210" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRU20Fq2CJSoIIJmx8W2peUwGaOBCHmwLu2Cm274avur7zGh2HgtA9M8ebGw6PQwxkaEKaJRibCI48HyXHd1sb-JWEhIsmAH7i7GAN3SjX4DAkwoeOiiQTxQlEe8QrE0qqV7H7_yHugekistuoKU3Fnj_n7UVtDCTut3wwQnfndiI3lddGsgwPEHxrCg/s320/Moira%20Neal.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The April speaker is Moira Neal and her talk is entitled "Lock Down and Love It".</span><p></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Moira Neal is a free machine artist and she loves to up cycle old cotton sheets to use in her work.

was followed by our speaker Linda Hill, a member of our quilting group.</span><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Linda gave us a potted history of her life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She grew up in Yorkshire and at eighteen
enrolled at Leicester School of Art and Design.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>In Leicester she met her husband and has lived in Leicester since then,
other than two short spells living abroad.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Her occupation was in textile art and design. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana;">After she retired a friend, whose mother had died, and knew
that she sewed asked her to finish a tumbling block quilt that her mother had
half completed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Her previous experience
of sewing was making clothes.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana;">In 2018 a friend, who lives in Australia, contacted her with
a proposal to go on a textile and sewing tour of Japan.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This included four workshops for different
Japanese techniques, sashiko embroidery, cogin embroidery, shibori dyeing and
boro embroidery.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She showed us her
workshop pieces and also various examples of these techniques either bought or
given to her during the trip. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She also
showed us a video of photos that had been taken during the trip.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When she returned she decided that she would
make a quilt using sashiko embroidery samples that she had gathered during the
trip.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was displayed on the quilt
stand at the back of the stage.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When she
had finished that quilt, she started another quilt using boro techniques.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She prefers the boro techniques as they are
less precise than sashiko which better suits her style of working.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She then showed us the quilt, which is a work
in progress.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQxN6w8J21tJxCBKo7fe504qG3oe2-U5sjU2WJRotEVJWXSsbjKLH28C9FQlXzIh3chOq5-eZZEanmjNvBuCofspDYAS4VkJguLszFPKSvkGxbAnKbdw4ALzi8DQ2nUoJG6z_uT9KmMSmim8qk4AA60_bPMyon8k6nL17WC116h9J8sVsy0Vi-fehFrA/s4032/IMG_0336.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto;
