Trees and Tie Dye - More Highlights from our 2019 Exhibition

Here are some pieces that were taught in workshops by our very own Sue Bennet - our talented longtime member and teacher of exciting new techniques and Free Machine Embroidery.

These first few were taught in a Woodland Scene Workshop at another branch a while back.

 Not having taken this particular workshop, I am not quite sure of the techniques but think that the trees are mostly made of Woollen/Yarn threads couched over the hessian threads that remained after removing most of the horizontal threads.

Using various colours of yarn makes the scenes look totally different according to which season you want to create.

Flowers add another dimension to the woodland scene.

I could not resist taking these snaps of a page by the Parbold Branch in our North West Regional Travelling Book. Click onto the highlight to read the previous post and also one here. 

How cheerful and succulent do these Fabric Pears look?

Above, a close up of pears and below, notice the cute bee.

Up next are some completed Tie Dye pieces from our recent Tie Dye Workshops with Sue Bennet. Read the posts here, here and here.


Here is a Sweet Heart embroidery using the tie dye as a background.

One clever member made her Tie Dye pieces up into this fantastic bag, below.
