Hearts Playday

Our timely Hearts Playday at the Maurice Jagger Centre at the weekend took inspiration from the work of Beryl Taylor, Carolyn Saxby and Jude Hill. 
Members produced some stunning work, as usual, and all of their pieces were so different! 

Jan's woven hearts


Margaret's hand-stitched and map / button hearts

Julie's machine-stitched hearts

Wyn's appliquéd sea-themed heart

Helen's dyed and stitched heart panel

Cath's heart panel on a woven ribbon background

Rona's hand-stitched multi-heart / circle panel

Janice's hearts applied to a woven strip background

A variation on a theme, for Sue's "Heart is where the Home is" piece!

****
And below are the updated versions of member's pieces!

    I've enjoyed seeing all your work and I am a big fan of Carolyn Saxby's work. I was very fortunate to meet her a couple of years ago while in holiday in st. Ives. She is as lovely as her work
