Decorative delights

It was a hive of activity last Tuesday evening with many different projects on the go. A fabric Christmas wreath was brought along to inspire us.....








and a Christmas stocking made from vintage fabrics was embroidered in preparation for a workshop.

Knitting needles were flying through the air - these blanket squares are part of a year long project!

 This lovely striped piece will be transformed, eventually, into a bed jacket....

... and another multi-coloured knit will become a warm snood.

The pile of patchwork pieces continue to grow - there are now over 350 ready to be transformed into what?

The cathedral window patchwork is nearly complete - it's still amazing to think that these coloured sections are actually old silk ties!

Multi-tasking success!

Well, at our final October meeting not only did we get on with our stitching/beading/knitting, we also entered the pub quiz and won - that was a successful night!

Christmas has arrived in the form of some festive beaded baubles. These were on sale for members of the group and several were snapped up,

The quilt made from Suffolk puffs is growing! The colour combinations are looking great.

A cushion/bolster cover was also brought along and admired....

 and a printed and embellished Christmas card made an appearance - is the festive season upon us? Or maybe someone being super organised!

A felted piece of sea blues and greens had some extra embellishments added, including some metallic thread.

Not long until our first anniversary - will more items be finished by then?!
