Not long now until The Big 24 exhibition at Blackthorpe Barns, Rougham, Bury St Edmunds IP30 9HZ
This event is organised by region 8 (Suffolk and Essex) of the Quilters' Guild and will be a huge celebration of quilting and textile art from this region.
There are 28 textile groups affiliated to region 8 - more than any other region - and 19 of them will be exhibiting at the Big 24 show.
I will have work on show as two of these groups; Out of the Fold and Spotlight Textiles
'Life's a Bleach!' one day workshop will be running at https://www.thecosycabin.co.uk/ on Saturday 1st June 2024
Working onto a black fabric we will build up layers of surface design using decolourant and household bleach*
I will demonstrate lots of different patterning and design techniques so everyone will leave with two pieces of unique cloth ready for stitch
Cost £45
To book please email mary.cs@sefwi.org.uk
*Note this technique can be very messy and smelly and masks will be worn
Working with cotton organdie this is a contemporary interpretation of the traditional Korean Pojagi piecing technique. The end result with be a double sided, semi-transparent panel ideal to hang in a window or against a pale wall.
The example shown here is by Yvonne Romain from a workshop last year. I can supply all materials for £15 in a wide range of colours so you can work in those which match your decor. The size can also be adapted to fit your specific space as required.
Workshop fee £45

A date for your diary - the Creative Stitch Graduate Show 2024 is coming round again and will be at Needham Market Community Hall on Saturday 20th and Sunday 21st July 2024
We will have a display of work from nine students completing the Advanced Stitched Textiles course. A wide variety of experimental and innovative work including 3D pieces, fantasy costumes and installations.
There will be displays from eight Creative Stitched Textiles students taught by my colleague Diane Tompkins and from her extended Cosy Cabin class from last year who just would not go home and insisted upon another year!
Plus work from eight students completing my Bridging the Gap course of students preparing to start the Advanced course next year.
35 student displays in all. So LOTS to see.
