September Meeting - Zentangles!

A lot of the September meeting was taken up with Embroiderers' Guild business, as it was the AGM, but there was time to admire the work of many of our members, who had completed the 2016-17 Chairman's Challenge of producing a Zentangle made up of a number of different stitches - one for each month. The pieces were, for the most part, presented in the embroidery hoops they had been stitched in.  

The stitches were : 
Running
Pekinese
Fishbone
Leaf
Fern
Scroll
Loop
Vandyke
Wheat Ear
Couching
Spider's Web

Abigail's

Anne's

Davina's

Jane C's

Jane B's

Janice's

Jacqui's

Mandy's

Margaret's

Maureen's

Rona's

Val's

Vanessa's

As well as seeing how everyone had chosen to interpret the challenge, we also had a chance to admire (with envy!) Anne B's finished book cover, started at the Frances Pickering workshop.
