This was done at short notice and branches were encouraged to re open as stitch clubs. Bolton Branch has deceded to take this opportunity to become totally independant of the Guild. Henceforth it will be known as Bolton Stitch and Textiles Group. All are welcome. Annual cost should be £45.00. Meetings will take place again as soon as Corvid Rules allow. Please refer to our Facebook page as this Blog will cease as of today.Val</p>B.E.G.Stitchershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15669833815919288505noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1731806877249047741.post-25686651527062261922020-12-18T03:26:00.001-08:002020-12-18T03:36:38.803-08:00Happy Christmas<p> What an odd year we have all experienced. All I can say is that it will get better!!! I wish you all a Happy Christmas and hope that we can all meet up again early next year.</p><p>Our virtual Xmas party went really well on Tuesday, thank you Brenda. We followed your instructions, dressed festively and had a glass and mince pie to hand. Glennys lead a demo for us to make a small greetings card whilst stitching in a mindful way. Quite odd but there were moments of silence as we concentrated but Julie made reference to the feeling of sharing our stitching as we worked together. Brenda had prepared a Christmas themed quiz which was won by Pauline. Fancy not knowing that Pierre Troudeau was born on 25 th Dec!!!!</p><p>Barbara was not present to receive our congratulations for winning the Mollys Cup this year. Her piece was No5. Brenda phoned her the next day and then I had a chat on the phone.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-25hxWo-k0HTsVUBgCPisaiKaHMbrqWNaHlWQp0yI-Nb3gv9Q5rITQkYaAM7khkhXERfp5g_fivWsZa3efR68IHNJEatFyTWjORqEp96qeBmcmQV8ffB7RMW8JP_IwVrV5zLmnSuufdW9/s2992/P1030298.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2992" data-original-width="2992" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-25hxWo-k0HTsVUBgCPisaiKaHMbrqWNaHlWQp0yI-Nb3gv9Q5rITQkYaAM7khkhXERfp5g_fivWsZa3efR68IHNJEatFyTWjORqEp96qeBmcmQV8ffB7RMW8JP_IwVrV5zLmnSuufdW9/s320/P1030298.JPG" /></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimveM32J-BNz_2DypNlJaGSAIvULyylrnNh01cmtHMuyXmfqsy7MlHxpCMHTDwgx5dtAjJnppMEjMmf3025Fq7WlLg_2w7MRe2W7sMXj8jmRex0aubRpjcQ5x5_Q8W5i1CfouPWLFyU_79/s2992/P1030291.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2992" data-original-width="2992" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimveM32J-BNz_2DypNlJaGSAIvULyylrnNh01cmtHMuyXmfqsy7MlHxpCMHTDwgx5dtAjJnppMEjMmf3025Fq7WlLg_2w7MRe2W7sMXj8jmRex0aubRpjcQ5x5_Q8W5i1CfouPWLFyU_79/s320/P1030291.JPG" /></a></div>So wishing you all a safe and happy Christmas, heres to a much better New year.

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span face=""Tahoma",sans-serif" style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;"> Minutes of Branch Zoom meeting of Tuesday 20th October </span></b><span style="color: black; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",serif; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span face=""Tahoma",sans-serif" style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">Apologies :</span></b><span face=""Tahoma",sans-serif" style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;"> Glennys Astley, Liz Almond</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",serif; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span face=""Tahoma",sans-serif" style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">Present :</span></b><span face=""Tahoma",sans-serif" style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;"> Brenda Brown, Julie Charnley, Carole
Hawthorne, Sheelagh Madden, Karen Vaughan, Linda Thornton, Janet Mitchell,
Clare Jady, Pauline Bowling, Lesley King, Val Coleshaw, Ann Willacy, Ann
Heather, Marion Jazmik, Julie Harper</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",serif; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Tahoma",sans-serif" style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">Brenda explained that we were not having a formal AGM under the
present circumstances.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",serif; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Tahoma",sans-serif" style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">It was found regrettable that although we did have a rich and
varied programme arranged for last year that we are unable to deliver it
completely. However Carole is arranging for some of our speakers the
first being Jessica Aldred to do zoom meetings for us in January fingers
crossed! Brenda thanked the committee for their hard work and perseverance
during a difficult year.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",serif; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Tahoma",sans-serif" style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">We also missed our usual summer meal at Ridgmount House this year
therefore we didn’t have the EGM consequently the committee remains the same.
However Ann Willacy who joined Bolton last year has expressed a wish to
join us and therefore welcome her to our committee.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",serif; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Tahoma",sans-serif" style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">Unfortunately we also missed out on the opportunity of having a
craft stall at the Triangle Church craft fair as that too had to be cancelled.
In the past we have succeeded in raising a decent amount for our funds as
well as having lots of fun planning, making and being there on the day!</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",serif; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Tahoma",sans-serif" style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">Brenda thanked Julie Charnley (IT rep) for organizing the zoom
meeting courtesy of her Zoom license. I have however received an email
from Terry Murphy recently to say that they are considering acquiring a licence
which branches would be able to access.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",serif; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Tahoma",sans-serif" style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;"> The subject of having informal meetings in between our
normal branch meetings was discussed. It was decided that we should try it
starting on <b>Tuesday 3<sup>rd</sup> November at 2pm. </b></span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",serif; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Tahoma",sans-serif" style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">There will be no agenda, no pressure to do anything apart from
turn up and have a chat just drop out when you want to. Just an informal Zoom
get together where you can ask advice on a project, where people can share
ideas or information or just be sociable. Its what you want it to be.
Julie will set us up again and you will receive the codes needed to log on ,
on the day. Hope you'll give it a go!</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",serif; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><u><span face=""Tahoma",sans-serif" style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">Activity</span></u></b><span style="color: black; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",serif; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Tahoma",sans-serif" style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">Following this part of the meeting Val was invited to show us a
little activity which we were given instructions in how to prepare for it.
Val had done this activity recently on a course and we thought we'd try
it. It was essentially designing within a grid with a simple template to
create a design which as she said created curves by using straight lines. Of
course I got it wrong and started doing curvy lines!! She then
showed us how she had translated her patterns into stitch and I was
impressed by a stitch she had used called Bokharra couching.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",serif; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Tahoma",sans-serif" style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">I would think this method of designing would be very useful to
create a pattern for a quilt, but I am sure there will be many more
possibilities.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",serif; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Tahoma",sans-serif" style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">Following the activity we all had a good natter and Marion told us
a bit about how her new book is getting ready for publishing next year.
Something to look forward to !</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",serif; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u><span face=""Tahoma",sans-serif" style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">Don't forget to claim your voucher </span></u><span face=""Tahoma",sans-serif" style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">which you
got when you paid your fees to headquarters. </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",serif; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Tahoma",sans-serif" style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">There are various offers and it is still available . I've chosen a
voucher for the new Thread IT magazine which will normally cost £25 a year but
with the voucher you get a free year. So it's worth a try. </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",serif; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Tahoma",sans-serif" style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;"> Do read your <u>Contact Magazine </u>there are opportunities
to do various courses including a live embroidery course by Zara Day £30
for 6weeks, which I thought looked quite good.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",serif; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

The committee has been negociating with Horwich RC and were confident that we could meet safely. However as Bolton is in another lockdown and nationally we can only meet in groups of six, this was taken out of our hands.It would be lovely if we could meet in October , but who knows.

I saw this mentioned on the NWR Pages so have written to Vicky , current Chair at Merseyside to send my "sympathies" and support. We in Bolton must feel their sadness as its not long ago since we hosted a similar day. Vicky attended our meeting fairly recently, with members of her branch, The good news is that it is not actually cancelled, just postponed. The LACE centre will honour the booking and it will go ahead on 24 April 2021. There are implications for Glossop branch who offered to host 2021 but will hopefully be able to move to 2022. I am awaiting similar news from HQ regarding the National AGM. If you peruse the HQ site you will find the Minutes etc and a proposal to raise fees. This would have been voted for on the day so wonder if we might receive proxy votes? I have two European holidays that are very unlikely and I also think summer school might fold. Very worrying times for us all but we can keep in touch. Brenda has extended the Facebook connection so you are never "alone" The only positive is the time that we have gained to STITCH. get out all those UFOs and photograph the end results.

<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">As was announced at our last meeting, we have at long last (and
after much searching!) a venue for our Exhibition, which is <b>Horwich
Heritage Centre</b>, next door to the Resource Centre where we have our
meetings.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;"></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">The exhibition will run
from <b>Saturday 4th - Wednesday 8th April 2020</b> (except
Sunday).</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;"></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Unfortunately this doesn't give
us as much time as we would like to gather items from our members and there is
only one meeting before the event, which is <b>17th March </b>(next week)<b>.</b> </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;"></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Therefore, we request that any
items you would like to be part of the exhibition be brought to this meeting,
clearly labelled with your name and in a carrier bag. Please bring only items
from the past 3 or 4 years and not anything which was in the pearl anniversary
exhibition.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;"></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">There will be screens for
hanging items but we'll also have some tables for smaller free standing
pieces or framed items on the cardboard stands, so it will be possible to show
a variety of things.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;"></span></div>
<br />
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Some suggestions from Brenda, of work we would like to
collect at our next meeting (17th March) for the exhibition.</span><span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;"></span><br />

After the meeting I dashed home to complete my packing and was then off to Cyprus at 5.00am. However the meeting was well worthwhile. Sue Sercombe and her husband came over from the Wirral on quite a miserable night, to talk to us. Sue brought along a vast aray of pieces of work and many of them were passed around for closer inspection. She shared her love of embroidery and textiles but admitted that she had not concentrated on one technique, rather trying all that was on offer.,This is something to which I concur. Some of her pieces were clothing and members modelled them with grace. No one attempted to wear the wedding dress that Sue made for her daughter but we heard stories about its construction and reconstruction and then why and how it was washed!!! Sue spoke without notes and we were quite disappointed when Brenda had to draw thw time to her attention. I believe we could have been there all night.<br />

However I try to attend as many of Bolton's events that I can so on Friday night I boiled a dozen eggs ready to prepare an egg mayo as my contribution to our lunch. Roadworks on Blackburn road made my ten minute journey into a half hour nightmare so all the tables were set up when I arrived. I also noticed the stitching that we began last year at this event. Very colourful.<br />

Brenda and her team had done a great job. We had a relaxing coffee and then played a "controversial" game of true or false. In turn we read a card to the person next to us, choosing one of two accounts. The other person had to guess whether it was true or false. General knowledge[HA HA}and lots of guessing, Judith won the game.<br />

We were all feeling hungry so arranged a wide range of contributions on the table. It was an excellent feast and we still had to go home with goodie bags.<br />
Another coffee and then Brenda introduced our afternoon stitching. She had made kits for about 30 persons, felt circles or lozenges that we needed to cover in stitches. They would then be threaded onto cord to make a very colourful hanging. I manged one and a half during the afternoon and came home with another which I completed that night. I know that Pauline has also completed three so that's 1/2 dozen ready to assemble.<br />

Brenda also showed us the bowl of flowers that we had all been stitching. She had roughly joined our pieces but must be quite annoyed that there are still gaps. Some members have taken a piece but yet to return it even though its been about a year. A personal plea from me to search , finish or own up if you have a square. Id love to see our finished piece as soon as possible.<br />

There were only 10 of us at the lunch which is in itself a little disappointing but on the other hand it really was great fun. We were all chattering together throughout the event and able to speak to every person in turn, However I do implore you to put these dates into your diary and whenever possible support our Branch. As a former committee member I know how difficult it is to arrange all the events and variety of activities and know it is frustrating when they are under supported. Use it or lose it!!!!<br />

We were entertained in Bolton by Suzy Huxley this week. I was really impressed with the work that she brought with her.Lots of animals captured with machine embroidery that were extremely lifelike. She also had three sewing machines{that were quite ominous} as I am not comfortable with a sewing machine. Suzy brought along her daughter who acted as her technical support.Why I wondered, until later in the evening where Suzy set up a small camera close to her sewing machine which then projected her actions immediately onto the screen. Just like looking at You tube!!! Her talk was quite reassuring to a novice embroiderer. She was happy to make her own rules and also remind us that it takes practice, we cant lean a skill in minutes, hours of practice over and over again.<br />

I had been to Aqua then hosted lunch for 19 aqua friends in a local pub, which was excellent. home for a short time then out to Horwich. I remembered my cards and sewing stuff, but no camera.<br />
We had a very festive evening. Marian was able to share some good news that she had been offered a book contract. I passed around a very positive and friendly letter that I had just received from Dorothy.<br />
Carol had materials ready for us to stitch a star and then we had excellent food, prepared by the committee. Pauline sent me her finished piece which was not a star , it was a snowflake. I cant have been listening again!!!! Below are our attempts.<br />

<br />
There were only 5 pieces for the competition and I will need to borrow the photos from Brenda to publish later.<br />
<br />
Brenda displayed the group piece based on a vase of flowers. There were still large gaps where kits were taken but not yet returned. She said that if any kits had been "lost" then she could make a duplicate. I took another one home as it was almost black with just a small petal. I have started the black in Bukhara couching which should grow quite quickly.<br />
Our next meeting is advertised on the programme as the Jacobs Feast but I think the date might be 18 and not 19th. This is followed by our Tues meeting on 21st. So organise your food contribution, find your flower piece but most of all,<br />
<br />
HAVE A VERY GOOD CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR.B.E.G.Stitchershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15669833815919288505noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1731806877249047741.post-45798626517550607152019-12-03T09:52:00.001-08:002019-12-03T09:52:47.165-08:00K and S at HarrogateI try to go to the K and S show at Harrogate each year but this year was extra special. Marian one of our members was invited to both Ally Pally and then Harrogate, to show some of her remarkable pieces. I was delighted that quite a few members of Bolton also thought it important to support Marian. I had seen pictures from Ally Pally and I know that i am prejudiced but I truly thought it was one of the best exhibitions...ever. I spoke to members from HQ and encouraged them to come and meet Marian. This had lead on to a possible Contact magazine article and another in Embroidery. I even told Anthea that Marian could become more famous than she. Below a few photos but do not do her work true justice.<br />

In addition, she was able to bring along a vast array of work and we had the bonus of being able to handle many pieces. Thank you Joanne.<br />

‘A stitch in line ‘<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Rachael comes from a family of makers, parents and
grandparents. She is interested in using stitch in the form of lines- timelines
and lines in nature to bring an end product, at the moment river stones and
seaside pebbles. We had a mini practical to complete. We were given a a
triangle of cartridge paper from which we had to form a shape of curves. We
have a workshop next year when we will be forming a similar shape and
developing further. An interesting lecture with lots of samples.<o:p></o:p></div>

It was a reciprical visit from Merseyside branch. Three of our members had been there earlier so they made a return visit. Their Chair Vicky brought, Jean Michelle and Gill to talk to us. Vicky introduced her members and made a quick comment about our next Regional Day in April next year. £30.00 at Sefton Park,two speakers, sounds good.<br />

I am afraid that I totally forgot....age related? So Jaki Bogg came to talk to us over a week ago. An interesting title, "Stitch Rich". Judith and I were the first to arrive and we had to prise Judith away from Lily Frudd the donkey. A very unusual display but well explained during Jakis talk.Jaki explained how she found inspiratiion for her pieces.Many of them use recycled mataerials and are 3D.The Mender was almost life size though I found her to be quite malevolent to look at.What do you think, she is here below?<br />

I had missed LIz when she came to speak to us a couple of years ago but had seen her work in magazines and then on line.It looked amazing. I contacted Carole a couple of weeks ago to ask for our requirements list. her answer was that everything would be provided for a cost of £4.00. This is always a pleasing response but she gave a short list of bits that we could take if we really wanted. I took along some threads , found objects and jewellery tools but none were really necessary as ALL was provided. I think we were all a bit concerned, not sure of what we would attempt but Liz was very reassuring. She began by demonstrating a number of techniques and then we had a play. I was still not sure where we were going but we experimented. After lunch we heard that we were going to create our own picture and not just take home a group of samples. We had another demo and then began to assemble our own pieces. Again I was not sure how it would work, but Liz came round and gave encouraging comments. I did tease her and said that it was a bit like the pressure of The Sewing Bee but I was only joking. Twelve of us went on this journey today and by 3,30 twelve of us were happy to show our totally or almost finished pieces. I dont think that has ever happened before. All of these pieces were of a high standard, I am thrilled that we all achieved so much. I suggest you look up LIZ COOKSEY as soon as possible. If you are reading this from another guild then book her!!!!<br />
