We’re challenging people to buy a pack of 25 fabrics and use all of them, in whole or part, to create a finished piece which will be exhibited for four days from Thursday 18 February at The Angel Inn in Midhurst, who are generously hosting the event.

Attendees of the exhibition will be able to purchase the creative pieces of art, with all funds enabling us to continue our life-changing work.

Organiser Olive Rowell, who was one of a team of 60 chosen to embroider HRH The Duchess of Cambridge’s wedding dress under strict confidentiality at the Royal School of Needlework in the lead up to the Royal wedding in 2011, is donating all proceeds from the £10 pack to us.

Olive, from Haslemere, said: “We are thrilled TRH The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester’s Household have taken time out from their busy schedule to take part in the challenge.  HRH The Duke of Gloucester is Patron of Canine Partners, and has always taken a keen interest in the work of the Charity.

“There is still time to be among Royalty and take part too; it is an ideal gift for people of all ages. It is a fantastic opportunity to be creative whether you complete the challenge as an individual or group.

“We look forward to welcoming people to the exhibition in February and raising funds so such a worthwhile cause.”

If you are interested in purchasing a 25-piece pack to take on the Textile Art Challenge please contact Olive Rowell on 01428 642507 or it will be available via caninepartners.org.uk/shop from  Monday 4 January.
