June 2015

Our meeting this month brought only four members, with a few away manning stalls at the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair.

Show and tell is always on the list though, and even with only four of us there was still lots  to see.

Robyn had been continuing to go "walkabout" on her bag panel, stitching with split stitch. The spiral has been stitched with back stitch.

Annette and Jenny had both been knitting. Annette had been knitting baby things for the new arrival, Poppy Bella Kell, who arrived on June 5th. First up was this beautiful shawl in 3ply pure merino wool, completed in time for Poppy's birth.

Next was this cute matinee jacket also in 3ply pure merino wool.

Then there were the baby socks made from left over sock yarn. Do we think Baby Poppy will be warm this winter? 

Jenny had made herself a pair of fingerless gloves. Never wanting a pair, Jenny had found sewing in her sewing room in winter was giving her cold hands. So a pair of fingerless gloves made in pure wool 4 ply was the answer. Her hands could stay warm while she still sewed and worked in her sewing room.

Jenny's shawl was also growing. It had taken on a mind of it's own and was becoming more 3/4 circle rather than the 1/2 circle that was originally planned.

Sheila was continuing on he "drawing a day" journey. The intention is to work in watercolour in her new diary/daybook.

Our next meeting will be in July. Come back and visit again to see what we get up to over the next few weeks
