Gardens and Requirements for June Meeting -Contemporary Satin Stitched Circle

Mary has sent us this photo of the tall stately sysirinchum striatum which she says flowers for weeks. If anyone would like seeds just let her know.

 Thanks Mary, anything that flowers for weeks is always welcome.

Sandra has sent a picture of her lilac which smells beautifully.

Requirements list for the June Meeting.

 

Shibori, Blackwork and Pulled Thread

Bev has been catching up by finishing off  various projects.

She has completed a very pretty shibori brooch started at one of our meetings.

 The blackwork was started with Liz Almond in Kendal.

and the pulled work also started in Kendal is nearly finished.

 Thanks Bev for a lovely range of work and I hope the pile of UFOs is decreasing in size!

Art Nouveau Flower 

Pauline has embroidered her flower in an electric blue and the result is beautiful.

 She has carefully worked shading on both the petals and leaves producing an eye-catching flower.
Thanks Pauline, it is wonderful. 

Seedpods and Swing Seat 

As promised, Mary has sent us a photo of the seedpods of  nectorascorum which she says look like Rhineland castles. They are unusual and I have not seen seedpods like those before. 

She has also taken delivery of a new swing seat for her garden. I am sure we all hope that she gets lots of use from it once the rain has gone through. 

 Thanks Mary for your interesting pictures.
