First Completed Project of 2018

Today I have posted off my completed 'trees' for the Stitch a Tree Project.  This is being organised by Alice Kettle and all the stitched trees will be arranged into a large embroidery called Forest - by her.  The finished piece, which is likely to be huge, will be displayed at the Whitworth, Manchester in September 2018. Everyone who contributes will have their piece acknowledged and indicated on a map.

The link to more information on this project is: www.threadbearingwitness.com

The story of the project in a short version is - 'the symbol of a tree has been used by various practitioners including the Refugee Resilience Collective, who work with children in refugee camps' - this work is in aid and support of refugees.



This project has been so popular that a voluntary donation of £3 is requested to obtain your pack and booklet.  It is hoped that the finished piece will be auctioned in aid of refugees.  Why not look at the website and see if you can help - you don't need to be a fantastic embroiderer.
