Denim Pocket Project

About a year ago, Amanda challenged all members to embroider a denim pocket.  The design, choice of stitch and colours was completely open. These were then collected together and Amanda displayed them on a denim skirt and jacket.  There were so many that she had to continue the display on a suite case.   This is the result which was in pride of place at the exhibition.

In addition to the amazing display of members’ work visitors were invited to enjoy cups of tea and coffee with delicious cake and biscuits made by members.

Before leaving the exhibition, visitors were encouraged to write a few words in our book and here are some of the comments.

Here’s to the next one!
