One of our branch members, Janet Rose, entered this machine-stitched piece of work for the West Midlands Regional Day at Stafford, in June. The competition was entitled ‘Pretty Deadly’ and Janet called her work ‘Totally Toxic’, having taken her inspiration from images of poisonous toadstools. It won her an additional prize from the Guild and a comment from Michael Brennan-Wood: "it was a very well executed and presented exhibit". A Guild book voucher duly arrived in the post which Janet was saving to spend at the Knitting & Stitching Show at Alexandra Palace in October.
Janet
also entered two pieces of stitched work into the first Ragley Gallery &
Studios Open Exhibition at Ragley Hall. She won a 'highly commended' award for her work
‘Walled Garden’ - a machine- and hand-stitched piece, which used a background of
oiled papers. Janet was very pleased to discover, on collecting her work that
she had also sold this winning picture.
Well done, Janet!
Great to know we have such talented members in our Branch :-)
Lovely work Janet
