Show & tell brought the following:-
A free machine embroidered apple by Donna, inspired by playing with paint & learning to blend colour. The piece will turn into a small wall hanging.
Jenny's experimental pulled thread piece, from a scrap of dress fabric. The piece of fabric was saved for some experimental drawn thread, but once needle went into fabric, pulled work became the order of the day. The piece will probably end up as a notebook cover.
Sheila's "Stitch Marks" book - stitches on paper.
Robyn's knitted cardigan with a crochet edge.
Sheila's surface stitching with her own hand dyed threads on striped fabric.
Then there was the design exercise of the morning. Starting with this original by Robyn, we traced only parts of the design. Then we played with pattern repeats, rotations, & mirrors.
It was amazing how many different designs we could come up with.
