First session for 2011

Last Wednesday we gathered for our first PCE session of 2011 - it felt good to be crafting in the hall again. Thanks to those who came along, I really enjoyed your company. Some of the projects underway...

Tracey is knitting a cushion cover, something she recommends learner and casual knitters do. The pattern is from "25 cushions to knit" by Debbie Abrahams...

Kate and I made some bags in preparation for her imminent birth. [Congratulations to Kate, Stu and Mackenzie. I can't wait to meet little Jay]

I started making a dress for a friend's baby, using an old table cloth... 

The Hannah Slade knitting machine cranked up again. Not sure what she is making - something striped and very cute no doubt.

 Clare has nearly completed her needlework piece - so beautiful.

She also brought along some felt shapes. We were wondering whether you needed to blanket stitch around each piece. I've since looked at a few pieces online (see one below) which seem to have been simply slip-stitched.

 Important crafting sustenance...

The next session is on the 2nd of March. We'd love to see you there, come along and make something!
