Our library.

* Next Thursday, 14th March, Margaret G. will be doing a demo with the 'Big Shot.'
She hopes to have 3 'Big Shots' with her. Not to be missed!
Bring along any card, fancy papers or thin materials suitable for cutting into shapes.
Mavis has requested that we bring in our birds, bees or butterflies next Thursday to assess what will be        needed to display them at the exhibition*.

There was something going on up at 'Library Corner' today. Margaret was busy with books. Usually she's busy beading or stitching.
We have an extensive range of books to keep track of and Margaret has been running our library with great efficiency for quite a few years!

Most of our books are old as they've been collected over many years, but they all remain very useful.
Stitches and methods haven't changed that much and sometimes the older books are the best.

We keep knitting patterns, embroidery transfers and stencils too.

What we really could do with is more cupboard space to store them all.

It's always the same complaint from those of us who do craft.....however much storage space we have - well we always need more!

Margaret was working her way through a pile of books putting the official Harmony Hill stamp on them.
As well as books we also have a selection of magazines and our group subscribes to the Stitch and Workbox magazine.

More recently a 'Networking' file was introduced for our members to use. It contains websites, blogs, names and addresses of suppliers, tutors, workshops etc. It has become a useful addition to the library.

When we come to the Arts Centre on a Thursday we get the added bonus of seeing all the exhibitions that are on. 

'Connections - Landscape, Power and Emotion' had just opened the night before, 6th March.

 I  had a look around with Judy, we hadn't heard of Sybil Moses but just looking at the paintings we both thought the artist must have a textile background as there were, what looked like, pieces of muslin, card, tissue paper and stitch incorporated in her work.

We thought the works of Sybil and Paul, although very different, complimented each other well.

Have a look at Sybil Moses web page.

Almost forgot..... Patsy's Duster bird finally got it's tail!!
