Embroiderer’s Guild Birmingham Branch Notices February 2017
Welcome
and a special welcome to our guest speaker Richard Box we are all
looking forward to hearing from you.
I
am keeping the general notices brief tonight as you also have to take
away notes about our exhibition in April and about our next meeting.
For
those who are taking part tonight is the first time we swap
Travelling Books
let Meriel know if there are any problems. Don’t forget Stitch
of the Quarter is
chain stitch.
Branch
exhibition at Artrix in Bromsgrove from 24th
April this year to 22nd
May.
See the separate sheets for more information
Next
year’s programme is available. If you haven’t already got a copy
please pick one up. Don’t forget Day
Schools and
sign up with Margaret if you fancy attending a day. June
24th
is Textile Art with
Mikala Gyetvai. Hopefully
everyone who had signed up will have already been told that Nicola
Jarvis has let us down so the March work shop is
cancelled.
Our apologies but not our fault, to make up for this we have a
booking instead at Cotteridge
on 27th
May when Anne Haigh
will lead a Canvas
Work Day
this will be at a reduced cost of around £15 as Anne is being very
generous with her time. Requirements list will be at the March
meeting. Please start to sign up tonight.
March
raffle colour is yellow
We
continue to meet at the
Library
first Saturday of the month and will be there on March
4th
Do
join us if you can; we have a lovely time when there.
We
have had some donations for the Sales
table. The next
Sales table will be at the March
meeting so come
prepared with cash and anything you want to donate.
Don’t
forget Show and
Share every month.
It was great at the last meeting, so hope that continues.
We
have had a message from the Guild about an appeal
for donations to
support the move of the collection to its new home. We will be
discussing this as a committee in a couple of weeks. Please get in
touch with one of the committee if you have any thoughts about this.
The
March meeting is a stitching
activity, Tea-Flora-Tales
which you may remember was mentioned by Cas
Holmes at the
Regional Day. See over the page for more details, please come to the
March meeting with your sewing kit and bits and pieces you want to
include.
Bernadette
Wilkinson on behalf of the committee.
