FRESH PICKS

COMMON THREADS

Meeting of minds

Formed in Suffolk in 2006, this group of embroiderers and quilters met while studying for their City & Guilds qualification and decided to form Out Of The Fold. The enthusiastic group of 12 meet regularly to offer mutual support and to exchange ideas and skills. Many of their members have been successful in winning challenges and competitions and they are actively involved in offering talks and workshops throughout the UK. Their latest exhibition has two themes: ‘Drawn Threads’ and ‘Celebrating 1,000 years of Bury Abbey’, as the Abbey was established in 1020. The exhibition is taking place in the beautifully restored Guildhall in Bury St. Edmunds, which has a café on site, making this the perfect destination for a spring stitch outing.
