Events – Lockdown Challenge

Other projects:


It all began when Jacky looked at her pile of clear, plastic boxes and thought, “What can be done with these?” They were small, only 8cm x 6cm x 1cm – just right for a Lockdown Challenge for the Worcester EG members!

The idea of summarizing what Lockdown meant to members by creating stitched pieces to go either inside the box or around the outside of it, or both, was presented to the members.  As usual, the creative ideas flowed!

One member wrote that she had stitched a series of images - both the negative results of Lockdown and her memories of it, together with the many positive things which had helped her get through.

The accompanying photographs show a variety of ways in which the challenge was cleverly interpreted.
