Friday 3rd March will be something a bit different. Caroline Lindsay is giving us a mini workshop on
Fifty Shades of Whipping and Lacing
After a brief talk about her work in general, Caroline will explain what is meant by whipping and stitching, i.e. taking a few very basic stitches and whipping them into shape, plus unlimited creativity.
As we get to grips with these simple stitches, Caroline will bring round her samples to show ways in which one stitch can be reinvented with a simple whipping or lacing stitch.
Caroline belongs to a number of textile groups, including Sutton Coldfield Creative Stitchers and the International Feltmakers Association. She trained at Leicester to teach needlework, specialising in Dress and Embroidery, and mastered a wide range of hand and machine embroidery techniques. Caroline often uses her own computer designs as a starting point for her work, which she then develops through working directly with the fabric, threads and stitching.
It promises to be fun!
