At our meeting this month, we had much discussion re our collaborative project, when it is due, how to display, a name etc, etc, All will be revealed in good time. There was also a small discussion re a money making/publicity exercise, and more may be revealed about that one too at a later date.
For show & tell, their were eight of us present.
Sheila had been making faces to make into brooches. Based on an unknown artist's work, the faces were first stencilled onto fabric then stitched.
Sheila had also made this bag using a foundation pieced centre left over from an earlier quilt.
Jenny had finally finished her bobbin lace fish. Made from Guttermann sewing machine cotton, using a pattern given to her by her lace teacher Ethel Zuccolotto, this fish was a challenge in more ways than one. More details may be found on Jenny's personal blog .
These socks were also made by Jenny. Knitted in Shepherd Baby Wool Merino, these socks will be ready for when the snow falls next, not too far away. They are the first socks that Jenny has knitted in approx 30 years, and there will be more to come.
Annette had been weaving. These two pieces had been done at a Start Craft Workshop Winter School in July with Kaz Maddingan, from Old Bar, in country NSW.
This is Dianne's tambour sample. Simple chain and beads have been worked with a tambour hook, and the sample has been a huge distraction to all of Dianne's other pieces.
Show & tell is a huge feature of our day, so please make us another visit to see what we get up to next month.
