24th Nov 2016: 25th Anniversary Celebration to Chatsworth
In recognition of Chelford Guild's 25th Anniversary, 40 members joined the trip to Chatsworth, not just for the Christmas markets & tour of the house & its famed festive light display, but a lovely celebratory lunch. The house provided inspiration for next years Capability Brown exhibition but funniest of all was the fact we went all that way & most of us bought ribbon! You can't take ribbon out of a stitcher. Happy Birthday to us & to the next 25 years.
17th Nov: Alysn Midgelow- Marsden: Workshop
Our day workshop comprised creating embellished surfaces leading to the creation of 'petals' to make 'baubles' or similar. There is a bit more to the process than you might think, but delighted to report some of us have actually finished a piece of work &/or took the opportunity to use up 'those bits in the bottom drawer' to create the petals.
