Vale Plus
A Stich in Time ValePlus have teamed up with Barry Hospital to work on an exciting textile project to celebrate 25 years of the Hospital.
The charity will be creating a quilt of 25 squares with iconic images of Barry and the Vale of Glamorgan, and they need your help! The project will involve many community groups, charities, organisations, individuals, local schools and businesses and they need your help for this exciting opportunity. Whether you’re handy with a needle and thread or just want to get involved, they need crafters to create 25 brilliant embroidered squares to make up the quit. You don’t have to be a sewing expert; the aim of the project is to bring people together, enjoy some art and celebrate the uniqueness and beauty of the area. 56
The deadline for the work is mid August so you’ve got plenty of time. They have already put together a list of suggested ideas and themes that will be needle-worked (either by hand or machine) and then brought together as a large hanging textile that will be displayed at Barry hospital. ValePlus will supply you with a seven-inch textile square for your organisation to complete and they will then incorporate it as part of the finished piece. If you are interested in completing a square please e-mail hooda@valeplus. co.uk or call 01446 746691.
