October 14

A short blog post today catching up for our October meeting. Show & tell for the day included the following:-

Above is Susans's 'Earth Stripe' bag. It is her own design, which she has crocheted in a variety of yarns. It has been lined with fabric, which has  also used to make the shoulder straps.  The finished bag has been decorated with a variety of beads and buttons.

This is Gerri's Russian doll  which has been worked from a pattern in Knitting and Crochet magazine.  The doll was completed in a couple of days.

These faces are Sheila's Travel stitching project. They are hand appliqued  using scraps from previous quilting projects, and were inspired inspired by Charla Khanna.

These two pieces are by Wendy, who has been having fun playing with thread, fabric and stitch.

This is Annette's work in progress after  misreading/misremembering the instructions for using thin fabric, wool fleece, dyed cheesecloth and kantha  stitching.  Unknown end result at this stage.

This is Dianne's 'Backyard View' - a class sample in development.

The beginnings of Robyn's Dresden embroidery begun in a class with Christine Bishop.

Our group will be meeting again in a few days. Our collaborative project has been shown & exhibited & we should have our pieces back at our meeting. So come back in a few days and all may well be revealed.
