So what did we get up to on Saturday? There were reminders of our year's objectives, & discussions on fund raising. Sheila had been researching boxes & postage in readiness for our years project.
There was show & tell a plenty from the five of us attending.
Jenny was experimenting with Hardanger, working filling stitches in different colours.
Donna had been practising her crochet, making this gorgeous scarf in pinks, trimmed with some spiral flowers that she had made in both matching & contrasting yarn.
Sheila had made a shopping bag featuring rows of raised chain band stitching in her own hand dyed threads.
Jenny had attended a workshop with Judith Langdon, learning how to make Dorset buttons.
Sheila had made yet another brooch for her collection. Her own design, the brooch came about after a Guild Summer School
with Sue Wood. It is commercial felt which has been machine stitched,
mounted on a fabric
backing.
Donna had found some hand dyed velvet which she used to play with some goldwork.
Sheila had made two quilts, this one a baby quilt featuring a ring of hearts in machine quilting.
"Dizzy Eye Dancing" is the second of the quilts by Sheila. It features fabric printing, fabric rubbings, machine appliqué & machine quilting.
Jenny had been making book marks to sell on a Guild Sales Table.
Wendy had been making crocheted squares using a pattern from Golden Hands.
Susan had finished her lacy scarf "Sweet Lorraine" that was shown in progress here. Made in a cotton yarn, the pattern is one that was downloaded from Interweave Crochet .
This granny square is also by Susan using a pattern by Panda Yarns. Made in a soft knitting cotton, it is the basis of a scarf, and a practice for another one in another colour some time in the future.
Wendy had been to Bangladesh, where she had purchased this "Village Scene" worked by Nermola at
St Paul's Sewing Center
Mongla Port
Bangladesh.
Come back in March for updates on our progress as we head towards our goals for 2012.
