<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Sue Tebbutt has been perfecting her goldwork techniques on two different pieces of work. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Firstly, this printed panel which she bought from Beyond Measure in Todmorden. </span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPF-vxPetz5V3ISngWdCZv-bzo_OEQ4hwvBrURaZ1CTtwl_fxwm5o-kFQh9tsCemj1huk1VwJAFzeW4pk_Y6qa1TPNK_HhG1ira2zZX0gzqqMnIk9emOBZcPZ42ubSAZm1i3UmD1wukZk/s1600/Screen+Shot+2018-03-08+at+17.24.10.png" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPF-vxPetz5V3ISngWdCZv-bzo_OEQ4hwvBrURaZ1CTtwl_fxwm5o-kFQh9tsCemj1huk1VwJAFzeW4pk_Y6qa1TPNK_HhG1ira2zZX0gzqqMnIk9emOBZcPZ42ubSAZm1i3UmD1wukZk/s400/Screen+Shot+2018-03-08+at+17.24.10.png" width="272" /></a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">"They come printed in different colours </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">but this yellow made me think of covering it up with goldwork"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Sue has also finished another piece of goldwork, this time using the advanced technique of Or Nué. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Or Nué (or shaded gold) is a form of goldwork embroidery using couching where different coloured silk threads are stitched over the metallic base of gold threads to form patterns or designs. The finished product is deliberately stitched so that the metal shows. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The or nué poppy was stitched by Sue Tebbutt from the design 'Lest we Forget' by Anna Scott Embroidery (Fine Stitch Studio).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Thanks Liz! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When ‘An Evening of Dolls’ appeared on our Embroiderer’s Guild program, I must admit the prospect didn’t enthrall me. However, what a fascinating night it turned out to be! Below are a couple of member Wendy Aldred’s creations.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Wendy talked about how her techniques have evolved since making her first dolls. Her construction is pretty technical from how she wires the fingers, creates the features and adds the stuffing. ‘When you think you’ve done enough, add more!’ A flat screwdriver with a notch cut in the end makes a good stuffing tool. A knitting needle does not. Some of the dolls’ outfits are made from fabric off-cuts from the Royal Opera House where Wendy’s daughter once worked on the costumes and we handled a sample of goat hair that apparently is good for dolls too.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Next we had Lesley Tingle talk about her dolls and how she uses her antique notions and embroidery samples (like the stitched felt below) in dressing them. The antique textile fair in Manchester is a great place for treasures like hair slides, buttons and braids for jackets.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Lesley extensively researches art dolls and brought a selection of books and dolls from her collection, like these in a primitive style below. For anyone also interested in art dolls she recommends (firstly being very careful of dubious websites!) looking at the exquisite work of Antoinette Cely, whose dolls are so realistic they look almost human; and for superb doll-making resources, to see Patti Culea.</span><br />

Saima's family originate in the Punjab and came to the UK to work in the textile industry. When travelling in India, Saima found herself drawn to the most "Indian-y" looking fabrics and objects, for example this Gujurati beadwork. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This colourful hanging is an example of Phulkari which is an embroidery technique from the Punjab region (divided between India and Pakistan) and is in a typically geometric design.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">She has embraced the Punjabi tradition of "storytelling quilts" and made this one based on a visit to the circus. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Following the birth of her daughter, Saima made an heirloom quilt. She explained the meaning behind it and both she and we were quite emotional by the time she'd finished. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In order to make herself "do something" with her sewing skills, Saima set herself three challenges. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">They were : </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1. To make something for a friend</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2. To make something for someone who was not a friend - Saima made a hanging for a café where the staff had been kind to her daughter.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">3. To do a craft fair. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Having completed those challenges and put herself "out there", Saima continues to push herself and is making items to sell. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you would like to contact Saima to come and speak to your group, her e-mail address is saimakaur@outlook.com</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">She is on Instagram as @sewsaima</span></div>

It is a few years since Harriet first came to speak to us, we were her first "proper" engagement and it was great to see how much further she has travelled in her textile journey since then. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In 2014 when she last came to see us, Harriet had just taken on the tenancy of a studio at The Artworks in Halifax, and started teaching there straight away. She had also successfully gained a placement in Madrid in the "Art Across Borders" scheme where she was working within the education system but also had time to pursue her own interests. Carrying out collage and stitch with a textile art group and schools groups in Madrid gave her a collection of work designed by Spanish students. On Harriet's return to the UK, she gained a commission for an Art Installation at Wakefield 1, which was based on items from Wakefield Museum. Harriet picked things from the museum that were damaged (you may remember her interest in Kintsugi, the Japanese art of restoring broken items and making them more beautiful by the inclusion of gold in their repair)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">She also used water jets to cut sections from plates and other 3D objects. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As well as running her own workshops in drawing, painting, screen printing, sculpture and textile work, Harriet also runs workshops at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park, The Hepworth Gallery, and for Manchester City Art Galleries. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">She has been the artist in residence at the Great Northern Craft Fair, where she designed a series of screen prints based on drawings made by visitors of the objects on display, and has subsequently produced scarves, household linens, and commission pieces such as plates for weddings. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In 2016 Harriet was commissioned by Gawthorpe Hall to do a piece of work and run workshops involving both the Hall and the nearby town of Padiham. For this, she took inspiration from the labels written at the hall by Rachel Kay-Shuttleworth, the founder of the collection, using them as the starting point for different kinds of labels and prints. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">She has now been commissioned to continue her work in Padiham town centre on a larger scale - this is still ongoing. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We can't wait for Harriet's next visit to find out where her artistic journey is taking her - when she was at school, she was a student of our Programme Secretary, Margaret, so we are claiming her as our own! </span></div>

The workshop started off with members foraging for leaves, grasses and feathers to make prints using Gelli plates and acetate sheets. This was a first for many of those taking part in the workshop. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The morning session was taken up with making as many prints as possible; printing from the Gelli plate, then from the items which had been inked, then using the "ghost" prints that were left on the plate when the items had been removed. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For our July workshop, we were joined by a local representative from Colourcraft, who took members through different ways of using some innovative Colourcraft products to their best advantage.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The day started with members using transfer paints on polysilk, lutrador and evalon, they then played with oil sticks doing rubbings and using stencils. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The day concluded with experiments using print blocks and Angelina fibres.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here are the results of their experimentations!</span><br />

She started off with Mellie, and this is what she said : </span><div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Meet Mellie, my first Waldorf* style doll. The head and face are not quite what I wanted - I started off OK but seemed to lose the plot along the way somewhere. But I have learnt loads from making her. My aim is to do more art dolls in the future once I have grasped a few techniques but I have to say I am loving the cuteness overload! I just hope my textile group won't ban me!!!"**</span></div>

Made of natural materials, such as fine woollen or cotton skin-toned fabric, generally filled with pure wool stuffing, hair and clothing materials are also made from natural fibres. The doll-makers use techniques drawing on traditional European doll-making, the doll's appearance is intentionally simple in order to allow the child playing with it to develop the imagination and creative play. For instance, it has either no features, or a simple neutral expression. The legs and arms are soft and if flexible allow natural postures. Dolls vary in the form best suited to the stage of development of the child; from a simple sack or pillow doll for a baby; a knotted or handkerchief style for a teething child; a simple doll with bulky limbs and either short hair or a hat for a toddler. </span></div>

These were on display at the Birstall Wood Turning Club's open day in May. </span></div>

It took a while, but she finally made it! </span><div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Karen, who is a ludicrously youthful 40, told us that she didn't even pick up a needle until she was in her 30s, when she decided to do a BTech. Her particular passion is lace, and she loves to upcycle vintage lace into new pieces, especially if it is damaged and would otherwise never be seen. She explained that she stitches her pieces, in the main, with cream thread, and then paints them with procion dye in order to get the watercolour effect that she likes. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Karen's work caught the eye of fashion editors even while she was studying and her striking structured head-pieces have been used in many fashion shoots as embellishments. She has been commissioned by TV companies and magazines to create work for them to buy or hire, and has also created pieces for collections at the Whitworth Art Gallery, Manchester Museum, and Gawthorpe Hall. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For her Foundation Course, she made a huge skirt which was inspired by vintage fairgrounds. Karen incorporated lots of techniques into this piece to show off her skills, including trapunto, devoré, digital printing, and hand and machine embroidery. </span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For her Degree Course, she selected some of the techniques which had been more successful during the creation of the "big skirt", and created a cape inspired by coral. Keen to carry out primary research but unable to travel to a coral reef, she went to the Natural History Museum and drew and photographed coral for her primary design source, but says that sometimes it is impossible, and has no problem with taking inspiration (duly credited) from the internet. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For her Masters Degree, she created three veils which were photographed at Gawthorpe Hall and Lytham beach. They were based on Victorian mourning veils and were made from vintage wedding veils. During Karen's research for these pieces she discovered some vintage Cornely embroidery machines, which do surface stitch on net and fragile fabrics. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The first veil is black and represents heavy mourning, and is embellished with moss stitch. When done on the Cornely machine moss stitch can be easily be pulled out of the fabric so this illustrates the fragile state of the Victorian woman in mourning.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The second veil is purple - Victorian widows and female mourners were allowed to introduce certain other colours into their wardrobe after a year and a day of mourning, purple being one of them. This veil is embellished with moss stitch and also chain stitch, which is more resilient. It also includes pearls, a symbol of tears. </span></div>

"The Campaign for Creativity is employing suitably creative methods to bring its message to life. Supporters are asked to stitch signatures which will form part of a unique cloth petition. The petition began its journey at The Spring Knitting & Knitting Show in London in March, and is now travelling across the UK before being presented to the Education Secretary. </div>
<div>
Stitched signatures can be made at or brought along to any of The Knitting & Stitching Shows and The Festival of Quilts during 2017, or sent to the campaign’s headquarters at the Campaign for Creativity, Twistedthread, 58 White Lion Street, London N1 9PP."</div>

She made a sample for us too so that those of us who are too lazy to read instructions had something to copy! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Here are the little fellers that were finished on the night : </span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixT0SX5GV3yJeC6mYRnCHeh9SdjNC4m28-PoAtcZD3urqZ-EA9thVwOjAIVS5QR7-FgCZaqgiUkwahzlt5V7-CeDcVStw4eRhiYkzbfpMU-RNSScvli1l3C9La7G4n-hzjC55DUEaZv3o/s1600/DSCN5797.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixT0SX5GV3yJeC6mYRnCHeh9SdjNC4m28-PoAtcZD3urqZ-EA9thVwOjAIVS5QR7-FgCZaqgiUkwahzlt5V7-CeDcVStw4eRhiYkzbfpMU-RNSScvli1l3C9La7G4n-hzjC55DUEaZv3o/s400/DSCN5797.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">...and here are two that Abigail finished later </span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The pieces of wire were all the same size (those that you get in packets for cake decorating, etc) but if you made big feet they had to have shorter legs!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Basically, you have to cut two chick shapes and some wings and a gusset from yellow felt, and a beak from orange felt. Blanket stitch the chick together, remembering to stitch the beak in and the wings on, and to stuff him before you seal all his seams, then make a foot at one end of your wire and poke it through the seams at the bottom, out to the other side. Bend the legs over and then make the other foot at the same length as the first (or it won't stand up!) It looks like there's a lot of wire to start with, but you probably won't have any to spare. When you've done, stitch his (her?) eyes on using a french knot or a little bead. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">They'd make great decorations for your Easter table or Easter gifts. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As well as the chicks, members brought some pieces that they've finished lately. </span><br />

Margaret had made some for her son's wedding a while back and agreed to pass on her experience. As you can see, there were several different interpretations of the design with each member putting her own stamp on her pair of tiny shoes! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">One of those is Anne Brooke, who is a hard woman to pin down! As well as being a school head of department, Anne has just opened her own textile studio in her garden, as well as giving talks and workshops to other groups, and demonstrating at shows such as Art in the Pen at Skipton, so we are grateful to her for sparing the time for her fellow members! </span><br />

Born of French / Scottish parents, Valerie had what many of us would consider to be an idyllic childhood, living in Paris and spending the summer in the south of France at her grandparents' home, before moving to New Caledonia, a small French territory to the east of Australia. She returned to France in 1974 to attend High School. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Valerie's first foray into the world of textiles came when she did an Art Foundation Course at Braintree College, then continued to a BSc (Hons) in Textile Design at what was then Huddersfield Polytechnic. Because this was a science degree, there was great emphasis on understanding the materials, and technical expertise, including the dyeing of fabrics, and different finishes. </span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">For her final piece, Valerie "rescued" a door from the yard of her student accommodation and kept it in the workshop, assiduously spraying it to keep the mossy finish it had gained from living outside. She loved the layers of peeling paint and they were the inspiration for her body of work, including this cardigan, which you can see is a different colour on the inside. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">After working for 10 years as a knitwear designer, Valerie moved away from direct involvement in textiles, returning in 2012, having been introduced to wet felting by a friend. Valerie told us that she likes responding to what the fabric is doing, rather than working towards an end point. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As well as using wool to create shape, images and colour, Valerie uses it to trap other fibres and fabrics in an almost invisible way, using the techniques of Nuno felting to "stick" different textures to each other. She often uses pre-felt as a backing and attaches silk organza or chiffon pieces, trapping hemp or flax fibres to "draw" on the surface. She adds details to her pieces in several ways, including photo transfer and machine embroidery.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Initially she worked from her kitchen table for 3 days a week, meaning that the family had to have a lot of takeaways! In 2014 she was able to give up working for Kirklees Council to concentrate on her art, and now has studio space at Artworks, Halifax, where she is able to do more experimental work using a large printing press and screen printing. Her current body of work illustrates Valerie's interest in fossils and insects. </span></div>

Mandyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17849799124629905465noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1053811287586454868.post-39541017608035102432017-01-07T10:55:00.000+00:002017-01-07T10:55:03.153+00:00January Meeting - Jo Sykes - Fifty Shades of Grey <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">That wasn't exactly the title of Jo Sykes' talk to us at our January meeting, but it seemed appropriate! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Jo, one of our members, told us that as a seamstress, she wanted to learn to dye as a means of changing the colour of a fabric without changing the texture, in the way that using acrylics or bonding does.She also wanted the choice of colour range that is not available commercially, so she set about finding a quick and easy way of dyeing fabric herself. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The first piece she showed us was one she made not long after joining the Guild three years ago, and came about as a result of the Chairman's "Stitch-a-Month" Challenge. The idea was to put the 12 stitch samples into a book, however Jo decided that she would make them into a hanging. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">She dyed the pieces of fabric that she was stitching onto, as well as the background fabric, which you can see is made of many strips of different fabric stitched together.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuB63LS6TI3tgg8D4leA-1w6LPucR9-J15s3cRSya5-DaMdnFr0K7l4CWBp4hQNrsuiHUEHUECLUTi9cXH9fkYCQdd7l4UsKF3yOhCKDZs8H1lkutjOh8evJQEBujXcHNWGCE9HK7KhEk/s1600/DSCN5456.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuB63LS6TI3tgg8D4leA-1w6LPucR9-J15s3cRSya5-DaMdnFr0K7l4CWBp4hQNrsuiHUEHUECLUTi9cXH9fkYCQdd7l4UsKF3yOhCKDZs8H1lkutjOh8evJQEBujXcHNWGCE9HK7KhEk/s400/DSCN5456.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Jo got the rusty effect on her fabric by tying it round a scaffolding pole - not, as someone said to me later, by walking twenty miles to a rocky outcrop to find a horse-shoe nail sticking out of an ancient gatepost, which is fine, but not that practical when you have other things going on in your life, as Jo did while she was making this piece. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMnNKVpTZ_qnroLBSBuU-89e-Fc3Fcvj_f702gXa0_xUCW4xoQyXB_I9-VjXgmOgh9pUFx8qpmMzxKHWzTJ9osF1_yBOnCyz5XK2LYZ-7BeRNQ6dNyvpe6JqMwvcPPFN-K4tkW_d912U0/s1600/DSCN5457.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMnNKVpTZ_qnroLBSBuU-89e-Fc3Fcvj_f702gXa0_xUCW4xoQyXB_I9-VjXgmOgh9pUFx8qpmMzxKHWzTJ9osF1_yBOnCyz5XK2LYZ-7BeRNQ6dNyvpe6JqMwvcPPFN-K4tkW_d912U0/s400/DSCN5457.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Jo told us that she had chosen red and purple as her background colours because she needed to get strength from them as she was going through a difficult time. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As Jo said, she wanted to find an easy way of dyeing, with a big colour range, so she chose to use...Dylon dyes! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM-YE-kywsC3KBafXcxH-cpeJVlV4PQqrZjpf1WmlayWBU2FRjd931xbHXOy9s358ZQtOai5hK3N6gVCMpeqvAp6WoGkE3rfgE5f7d7Y_tjcRcTZBT-SduuEbEZSAIuekCkN5vFumXoME/s1600/DSCN5458.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM-YE-kywsC3KBafXcxH-cpeJVlV4PQqrZjpf1WmlayWBU2FRjd931xbHXOy9s358ZQtOai5hK3N6gVCMpeqvAp6WoGkE3rfgE5f7d7Y_tjcRcTZBT-SduuEbEZSAIuekCkN5vFumXoME/s400/DSCN5458.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">She buys them from the cheapest place she can find (usually Boyes - there's one in Brighouse) and decants them into cheap secure containers. She can then use as little or as much as she wants, saving what is left for future use. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Jo prepares the fabric for dyeing by washing it, in case any stiffening has been added in the manufacturing process. She then puts it in a bowl of hot salty water. Hot water opens the fibres and lets in the salt, which is a fixing agent. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">She puts the dye into about 100ml of salt water which is just off the boil, adds the fabric and agitates it, then leaving it in a bowl or plastic freezer bag (let the water cool first!) for between 2 hours and overnight, agitating them occasionally. To finish the process, Jo rinses the fabric, washes it, and then rinses it again. It is quite colourfast but she wouldn't offer us any guarantees!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">She demonstrated that different fabrics take in more or less dye depending on their natural fibre content, with cottons taking dye in more successfully than fabrics rich in polyester, as can be seen in the picture below. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC45BdMIhIRT3suuwOIocDRCV-WoIsFp7TxE-kP8enJMQNjCffv08QBpQAHtxC5XOyIzOcFEqKGzXJlTsvGsEAT-DJGhOtxCaQuYZ9DiOuMtS-7iabyxLvEB2RECiNef2Ng4RkzYpPtpY/s1600/DSCN5459.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC45BdMIhIRT3suuwOIocDRCV-WoIsFp7TxE-kP8enJMQNjCffv08QBpQAHtxC5XOyIzOcFEqKGzXJlTsvGsEAT-DJGhOtxCaQuYZ9DiOuMtS-7iabyxLvEB2RECiNef2Ng4RkzYpPtpY/s400/DSCN5459.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The result of this is that one dye bath of different fabrics can give a wide range of colours in the same family, which will give a harmonious finish to a piece. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Jo also brought samples of other fabrics she had dyed, using two colours and making several dye baths with different quantities of the two colours in them. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXVKs5_-Bf-wvHqFqUe3TVExNBiWu9kta-9Imk0-Lr-3VpVZ8M1V80gr8UHYWMsWhQgJxlPVTBgm-GfXWho_ADEUclik8ztAFkXatNRWrGIiUYqVfoYq5gY0SPK9DJIQiffPaWWukyLYg/s1600/DSCN5453.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXVKs5_-Bf-wvHqFqUe3TVExNBiWu9kta-9Imk0-Lr-3VpVZ8M1V80gr8UHYWMsWhQgJxlPVTBgm-GfXWho_ADEUclik8ztAFkXatNRWrGIiUYqVfoYq5gY0SPK9DJIQiffPaWWukyLYg/s400/DSCN5453.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This technique had been used in a stitched collage of a moorland scene using some manipulated fabric. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">First of all there was the brilliant secret gift exchange! Wyn (our chair) found some plastic baubles - the kind that come apart so that you can fill them with something. All the members who wanted to participate took a bauble home and then filled it with something, or decorated it, and brought it to the meeting in an anonymous brown bag or envelope. There was then a draw for members to come and choose a bag to keep, with no idea of what they contained! </span><br />
