Lingen Stitchers

Lingen Church
Shingles above the church door
Had a day out on Saturday.  First of all we went to Ledbury to see the exhibition of work by Malvern Makers in the Weavers Gallery and then headed over to Lingen (near Presteigne) to see the exhibition put on by Lingen Stitchers and Needling Along.
There was a very good selection of both patchwork and embroidery and much reminded me of Harrogate branch's annual exhibition at West Park.  (There were some patchwork birds and embroidered buttons)  Several small marquees in the church yard provided fabric and plants for sale, demonstrations and, of course, tea and coffee.  Excellent fruit cake!

In addition there was an art exhibition just around the corner (seven artists art@the granary) which included work by Peter Horrocks and Bronte Woodruff.  The big surprise was the textile based work by Kate Morgan Clare made from dress patterns.  It was part of the Presteigne Festival.
