Chairs Challenge 2020  Theme of “20”


This challenge was set by Elise Stewart in her final year as Chair. These are the entries that would normally have been on display at the AGM!!

 

Saskia
It is what the year 2020 means/meant for me.   The background is from a textile that someone (possibly from the embroiderers guild) made into a uniform bag that I used when I was transferred to New Cross hospital for 2 months. The appliquéd flowers and letter C were from another uniform bag. The canvas work was from my kit from the embroiderers guild. The coronavirus was one of the textile artist.org challenges. The words on the ribbons all relate to the year. The calligraphy was done by my daughter and scanned onto dyed fabric. The stitching incorporates many of the try a stitch Tuesdays. The photos are of me and my family signifying our separation and use of zoom and the post to keep in touch. The stitched bird and flowers signify my enjoyment of the nature in my garden. And obviously (I hope) the red stitched circles are the virus.
 


 

 Judy enjoyed using the stitches from Try a Stitch Tuesday




Helen’s very “blingy” entry
