March 2015

 Our March meeting brought seven of us in attendance with a number of visitors.

Show and tell for the day brought the following:-

Jenny had been playing some more with filet work. This time it was to weave a flower into her hand-made mesh in linen stitch. The challenge here was to leave holes in the weaving. What looked like a simple design woven in separate sections proved more challenging than it looked. Most of that daisy flower was woven in one continuous weave, and Jenny had to work out a complicated weaving order to achieve the finished result.

Susan had finished her cross stitch variation circle and had started a second one in surface stitching just for fun.

Robyn was continuing working on her 'walkabout' project from last month.

Donna had made this little clutch purse while on holidays a few weeks back. Using scrap fabric and a grab bag of textured threads, Donna has used couching and other surface stitching to create the flap.

Donna had also been playing with fabric weaving. After beginning with cereal boxes,  fabric was then cut, woven into patterns and stitched to hold it together .

Jenny had begun knitting another pair of socks on a recent trip away. Using a 4ply Lincraft Lullaby, the pattern is the "Cirque Socks",  a free pattern from Knit Picks .

Sheila was continuing on with her daily drawing practice which is her personal challenge for the year.

We hope you have all enjoyed our show and tell for March , and come back in April to see what we get up to.
