July '08

Another meeting of our group last Saturday with only a few in attendance & only a small amount of show & tell.

Libby had the best news in that one of her pieces, " Waterfall", had been purchased by the Embroiderer's Guild of N.S.W for their collection. It is a piece featuring calico manipulation. Her work in the letter "E", (pictured below) is for a banner for the North Shore Craft Group.


Susan had crocheted this scarf using hand spun, hand dyed, yarn. The yarn is a blend of alpaca & merino fiber which has made it very warm.

This cushion pannel is also work of Susan's. The design was an adaptation from a book on Swedish designs.


Speaking of books, Robyn presented me with this most stunning book, "The Grand Tour - Shrines of Power". The cover alone has enough inspiration for a lifetime, so imagine the stunning pics inside that will inspire more lace. Thankyou Robyn.

The lace Exhibition mentioned in the May post was recieved very well, & the newspaper article can be read here.
Stitching for the day included Robyn continuing to work on her Reticella piece from last month, Libby woking on a new garden & myself coninuing on a piece for our group project. Other work of mine can be seen here.
