November 2013

Another Small group meeting this month with only five of us present. It was only a morning meeting this month as there were exhibition presentations to attend.

Congratulations go to Sheila for winning the "Say It With Words Challenge" . Sheila  won for her piece "Haystack", and also won the peoples choice award. All the entries can be seen here.

 Even with only the five of us, show & tell is always inspiring.





Donna had made this fabulous statue using knitted fabric, T-shirt fabric, and a doily. All were stiffened with a fabric hardener and Donna is now thinking of a series of statues.




Another book cover by Sheila using raised chain stitch and couching.



 
Donna's lace collage with beads & a tiny bit of hand stitching.






Robyn's needle-lace pumpkin flower, a UFO from 2009 that she is trying to finish.




Sheila's quilt that she made for her grandson. Mostly machined in the "quilt as you go" technique.




Robyn's ribbon and beaded Christmas Decoration.

Sheila's Christmas decorations made from felt and sequin waste, using a design from a "Stitch" magazine.

Following show and tell, there was some inspirational discussion on our direction for 2014. No letting the cat out of the bag though, you will all have to come back next year to find out what that is.
