Reminder to Members
Please remember that it would be helpful if you could bring your items for the Fashion Parade on 9th May to the meeting this week. The electronic forms should also be returned by the meeting. This will give Sarah and Lynne time to sort out the entries , match models and plan the running sheet for the event.
Please make sure that all of the items are clearly tagged in the correct format.
You still have a few weeks to work on those articles for the bazaar.

More wonderful inspiration
Here is another wonderful site bursting with so much information about textile art - http://www.textileartist.org/ . Its purpose is to inspire, summed up by this statement from the site:
"We want TextileArtist.org to be an invaluable resource for stitch artists and practitioners working with mixed media techniques, including embroidery, print, crochet, appliqué and quilting. But we also want to include those of you who aren’t necessarily artists yourselves, but have a passion for the diverse medium of textile art or enjoy experimenting with fiber and fabrics as a hobby.
TextileArtist.org is a place to be inspired by some of the world’s most prolific textile and stitch artists; learn from the best, find out what’s going on in the world of textiles and promote events, exhibitions, talks, workshops and book releases."
