October 2011


There was only a small group of us for our  meeting this month due to a Convenor's meeting and an AGM.
Those of us that were present found some stitching or designs to work on, lots of people to chat to & inspiration a plenty.

"Pots", a still life by Donna, had her practising her FME on a piece featuring applique, pastel dye sticks and some hand stitching.

 
Jenny was experimenting with black work patterns & colour. The piece below uses her own hand dyed fabric with variegated threads,




while this second piece uses the same hand dyed fabric with numerous colours.





These gloves were made by Jenny, adapting a pattern from Payton's Classic Book 50 worked on 2 needles, to one using double pointed needles & so eliminating seams.



Mmmmm......... I wonder what we'll get up to in November?
