June '09

There were only five of us attending on Saturday but we still had fun. Our design exercise this month was on wordplay, taken from "Design Synetics" by Nicolas Roukes. Sheila had prepared two groups of words & we each picked one word from each group which were then used as inspiration.

Robyn's designs from the words "Illuminated - keys" & "Twisted target"

Jenny's "Mechanized -map".

For show & tell, Libby had been working on "A Garden for Clarice" featuring lots of tiny appliques.

Jenny had been practicing bobbin lace,

as well as working some crazy patchwork.

Robyn had been having fun with a computerized sewing machine & had made this bag featuring a digitized design in a metalic gold thread.

Sheila had finished this small quilt from her class at Fiber Forum,

stitched a small piece for a special project she is working on,

and made baskets from fabric strips following the directions in Cloth Paper Scissors Studio Issue.

Check us out again in a month's time to see what else we will get up to.
