Ann finished the quilt she was making for her brother. She also brought along an amazing unfinished patchwork quilt that got us all excited (I have a serious case of quilt-envy). She bought it for ONE DOLLAR!! at a recent quilting fair - what a find! I wonder where all the fabric pieces came from? I love hexagon patchwork quilts, they are such a classic. It would have taken many hours to piece this together as they can only be made by hand. Ann is going to finish it off and make a border for it...
Tracey is working on a patchwork piece too. A cushion cover I think (bottom image). She has also been practicing the ancient craft of story-telling - entertaining us with funny stories of her travels around the world. Talita experimented with needlework stitched over printed fabric (below right). Natalie brought along her gorgeous old teddy, on a mission to replicate him. Thanks too for the delicious Pecan pie and chocolate brownies pieces - your hubby is not a bad cook!...
Hannah finished a sweet little boat-neck jersey for Charis (you'll note that she doesn't need to look when knitting)...
Jeanette, like Hannah, is a great knitter. Over the last 2 years she has made and sold 300 beanies - whoa! She finished another one while at the Craft Exchange. If anyone needs a beanie for winter let me know and I'll get Jeanette to make you one...
Helen converted a dress into a very cute skirt and hemmed some shorts...
Clare has nearly finished making a monkey...
Lately I've been playing around with felting and made some booties out of a wool jersey for my new niece Tui (yay!). I added some needle-felted circles...
So come along to our next session - on the 18th of May - we'd love to see you there.
