Our meeting this month brought nine of us, and as usual there was show & tell a plenty.
Robyn was continuing on her piece from last month, adding some petals and more spirals to her corn pad flower.
Sheila had made this fabric post card, inspired by a sketch of the Miner's Memorial in Broken Hill. The postcard is hand panted, then free machine embroidered.
Wendy was continuing on this piece, using threads from an impulse buy. The piece used stitches that she enjoys working and is time well spent.
Sheila had been making bags, using up some of her fabric. The blue one above has been hand printed, then stitched in running stitch. The red gingham check one features recycled English Pieced hexagons with added stitching.
Gerri's "Love Life" beaded cross stitch piece. The piece features a neighbourhood scene and has given Gerri hours of enjoyment.
Next we have a variety of winter warmers, especially for the chilly weather of this week, and the weeks ahead.
Susan's granny square blanket is being worked in Payton's Gem, a 100% cotton yarn. Nine years ago, Susan was given 21 balls in 5 colours. What to do with it? The granny squares are joined together with a double crochet in white.
Annette had been knitting socks in a 4-ply yarn from Turkey. The socks are very comfortable & very warm.
This cloche hat is also by Annette. Knitted in 12 ply wool on circular needles, then felted in the washing machine. A very quick knit and very warm.
These gloves were made by Jenny, using her own de-constructed version of the pattern found in " A Gathering of Lace" by Meg Swansen. Knitted in Paytons Embrace, a 2 ply yarn of 90% Merino , 10% Silk, the gloves feature a moss stitch cuff.
There was also more chat about our collaborative piece. All will be revealed in the next few months, so please keep visiting to find out more.
