Kingston & District Branch

Member Joan Matthews came up with a block busting idea of raising money in support of the new centre fund - the Branch stitched bricks!

Over ninety bricks have been stitched. The Branch is hoping to exhibit the completed wall at the South East East Region Exhibition in 2004 and again at Kingston Museum in 2005.

The bricks were made in workshops tutored by Branch Members. The fees saved plus additional donations from Members will go to fundraising for the new centre. Young Embroiderers chose to work with needlepoint canvas (above), while the Branch Members chose a variety of techniques (below).
