A small group of only four this month, but the planned tonal exercise still went ahead. Sheila led the day using an exercise that was based on one presented in 'A Complete Guide to Creative Embroidery' by Jan Beaney and Jean Littlejohn. Copies of a large sketch were provided and selected parts of the sketch were chosen by each individual to represent in stitch. The aim of the exercise was to express the tonal quality of the drawing through stitch using density of stitch and/or colour of the thread .
Below are the results the girls came up with.
