Lovely Things - Highlights from the 2019 Exhibition

Here are a few more snaps from the Lytham St Annes Branch of the Embroiderers Guild Bi-Annual Exhibition. 

I am not sure if this post has a 'theme' but all are Unique and the Stitchers Own Design and Free Style - my kinda stuff! (if you can come up with a better title, just let me know!)

This is Rosie the Elephant, below, in Sumptuous Purples.




 A Klimt Inspired Wall Hanging, above, was made using the students own stamps to make prints on velvet using metallic paint. The class called Klimt Reworked in Stitch and Textiles was led by Wendy Cotterill during the 2019 North West Regional Summer School.
Below, is a wonderful quilty mixed media scene called Under the Sea. 


This Crazy Patchwork really sparkles in silky blue fabrics with a pop of purple. It was made on a Workshop led by the lovely Linda of Creative Threads in Garstang.



A wonderful Book Cover using snippets of sheer fabrics and threads that are free  machined over, looks cheerful in its blue and gold colourway; above.

Below, a Mosaic of scrunched coloured papers sewn together makes a Unique Pouch for keeping important scraps or cuttings from magazines.



Below, pretty sheers and voile have been free machined to embellish before florist wire was machined on the edges of Butterfly shapes to make this 3D piece called Flying By.



I hope that these items have inspired you to let you imagination run free to make your own Lovely Things? 
Thank you to everyone for allowing photos of your creations to show on our Blog.
