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).
