On Wednesday ,Barbara and I went to visit my Glossop Branch. It does seem a long way….3 hours there and back. However they are a very friendly group and I do feel that I am getting to know a number of members. We were also fortunate the the speaker was Barbara Jepson. She gave an account of her stitching life, how she progressed and what she does now.
Barbara began by working with felt. {i was at a felt making class last night} but has developed her craft. She now produces a batik background , applique and hand stitched. So I wonder… if my felt develops , might I one day produce work like this?
How lucky to have Barbara as your speaker, I am her biggest fan owning some 7 of her flower pictures.
