Monday November 17th saw the Northern Group’s last stitching gathering for 2025. Next time we meet will be our end-of-year luncheon in Launceston on December 8th. We resume meeting 17th February 2026. However, there are plans to do some excursions in January to provide opportunities for sketching, painting and photography out of doors to inform our new work.
This year has been another stunning journey of creation, discovery, exploration and exhibition. Several members have shared their work on the walls and we have participated in Stitching and Beyond Out of Hand and Annual Challenge exhibitions. The growth in our work has been phenomenal, and we are rightly proud of the achievements of our little contemporary textiles group under the Stitching and Beyond umbrella.
Recently, the Northern Group was exceedingly fortunate to receive a quantity of books from a long-time Stitching and Beyond member who is downsizing. This has formed the basis of a library for the Group from which members may borrow.
We wish all who celebrate, a joyous Festive Season and for everyone, our hope for a New Year full of peace and success.
