October Hootenanny

Last night saw the return of our monthly hootenannies.   It was great to meet some new stitchers and to see some old faces.   There was stitching aplenty, lots of tea drunk and a discussion about the new Blade Runner film.

Here’s a couple of pics from last night, including one of me proving that the seemingly small section of ribbing I was knitting will in fact go around my large head.

Our next hootenanny is Wednesday 8 November, 6-9pm at Tilt.  You can find out more information on our website here.

Hootenanny reminder

There’s just under one week until the return of our monthly hootenannies.

So pack a project and come and get your stitch on with us.

Made in Kings Heath

Stitches and Hos are thrilled to have been invited to take part in this year’s Made in Kings Heath Open Studios Trail.

The open studios take place on Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th November 2017.  The trail comprises 13 artists/makers showcasing their work over 3 venues.

Made in Kings Heath aims to bring together artists living and working in the Kings Heath area of Birmingham to share, exhibit and promote their work.  Founded by ceramicist Melanie Keevil and textile artist Emma Jackson, the first Made in Kings Heath event took place in the Autumn of 2014.

For this year’s event Stitches and Hos will be exhibiting our hand knitted homewares and gifts at the studio of Ruth Green Design, one of the new venues added this year.  Also exhibiting at Ruth’s studio are Ruth Green (prints), Sue Bibby (embroidery), Clare Wainwright (stained glass) and Giles Hughes (mixed media & painting).

You can find a trail map and more information on the Made in Kings Heath website.
