FREEMOTION  MEMBERS  GALLERY
Work by Kristen Dibbs
 
 
and  are two new works by Liz Welch  that were in the Lady Of Shalott exhibition
                at Lincoln Cathedral Chapter House in Britan during August.  Nolitex, the textile
group I belong to put on a lovely visual interpretation of this beautiful
        poem as part of the centenary celebrations of Tennyson who had very strong
    links with Lincoln.  We had commissioned a caligrapher to calligraph the
poem with  many of the verses begining with illuminations, and Nolitex
      members had each chosen a verse, line  or theme from the poem to illustrate
    in stitch.  The setting of Lincoln Cathedral was spectacular and the Chapter
  House added a certain mystery and solemnity to the exhibition.  My piece
    based on a shallott was the only irreverent one, but the  others were all so
varied and very beautiful.     Click on each picture for a larger view.
 
and back view  of vest by Peggy Frankovich.    Peggy is a member
of a community club that each year  throws a games luncheon to raise money.
   She made this vest for this fund raiser.  Click on each picture for a larger view.
Two ladies are sharing some of their free motion embroidery work with us.  Dale Rollerson made a purse*
which incorporates painted fabric, tyvek, metal and couching. Dale tells about her project (text file).
 
Liz Welch has done a piece called Bramble Thicket* in which
she has used Friendly Plastic.  She tells us a little about this project (text file).

Kae Barron was inspired by Liz Welch. Kae sent a picture of a hat she embellished with stitching on metal
and her thoughts and how to about it. (txt file)
 
Liz Welch sent a sample of her stitching on metal.  She shares some tips ( txt file) on how to stitch on metal.
Are you asking yourself what kind of sewing machine would you use to stitch on metal? Liz used a Pfaff 7550.
