APRIL MEETING

Our April meeting began with an examination of where we are with our Jigsaw project
Some members absence due to holidays etc., meant a 'catch up' for one or two

                                  

Ruth's holiday in the US revealed lots of Zentangles which will be perfect for the Jigsaw

Elaine's progress is stunning

So too is Pats

Beautiful hand embroidery with yummy French knots - just awaiting to be cut out into the jigsaw shape
Lovely textures on a watercolour background - first stage

Journal Work

Margaret McQuillen has found it greatly therapeutic to work on her monthly journal page, and as you can see, each A4 'page' has been accomplished in a host of techniques and includes one of Margaret's passions for Kantha work

THE COLD MONTH OF MARCH

We were privileged to see the flowers for Pat's daughter's wedding. These are just a tiny delicious sample for the buttonholes and the 'brooch flower' bouquet.

 Just gorgeous Pat!

Margaret has been with us from the beginning, but she is leaving for pastures new. Well done Margaret on securing a new job. Hopefully you can come back to us whenever you have a free Thursday
Thank you for your participation and support for the group and please keep up the Jigsaw and Journal work
