Textile Group - In Stitches

The sewing / textile group known as In Stitches has a new venue The Station Gallery, Platform 1, Nuneaton Railway Station CV11 4BU. We meet on the 2nd Monday of each month. Please see below our final meeting date for 2017:

Monday 11 December - 10.00am - 12.00noon - followed by a Christmas lunch

Escape Arts http://www.escapearts.org.uk/ have use of this wonderful town centre location through its partnership with Art Alert (who are Station Adopters) http://www.artalertnuneaton.co.uk

The stitch group has worked with textile artist Zara Day to create an exciting celebration tablecloth. The tablecloth was designed by local artist Alisha Miller and is based on her observations of the volunteers and user groups of the Chilvers Coton Heritage Centre. The purpose is to recognise the wonderful contributions that the voluneers give to our community and the wealth of heritage that can be found there. Incidentally the centre is also where the Treacle Tarts meet.

Following on from their exhibition at the Station Gallery on 10th, 11th and 13th November 2017, In Stitches will be working on several projects.

1. 'Gathering Memories' - a project linked to the Alzheimer Society https://www.alzheimers.org.uk

2. Morsbags - why not use an old bedsheet or curtain to make your own Morsbags and distribute them - each one has the potential to eliminate hundreds of plastic bags over it's lifetime http://www.morsbags.com
