On Monday 8th November we welcome Judy Preston as our speaker. Judy’s speciality is eco-dyeing and the talk will explain the fascinating business of creating beautiful fabrics with plants.
Judy cultivates her own dye garden at her home in Sutton Coldfield and will be bringing a full range of samples for us to see, together with eco-dyed upcycled clothing and upcycled cotton for quilting. There will also be eco-dyed scarves and bags for sale.
Eco-dyed fabrics can be a wonderful base for stitch or embellishments of all kinds, as are ecodyed papers, so there will definitely be something of interest for us stitchers.
What’s On
Take a look at our What’s On page for information about next week’s Weavers Spinners and Dyers Open Day. The Textile Fair at Compton Verney is also taking place next weekend. If you have time, you can do them both!
Bye for now
