May meeting 2015

Here we are, the month of May. What shall we do today?
 For Clare it was determination to work on the Hundertwasser project - nearly there now
Machine embroidery today - just the mounting to do now

 Debbie's Hundertwasser - complete
 Always time to discuss the work and life
 Debbie has also completed a cushion cover by embroidering the raised pattern on the material. Great idea
 Our ABC travel sketch books...D for Dove
 Lorraine's Hundertwasser is well worth showing off. This is a three dimensional piece in so many different techniques. Amazing work Lorraine

3 Hundertwasser pieces - Debbie, Clare and a little of Lorraine's piece

Samples of Crazy Patchwork completed by Ice - Ice will be leading a workshop for us in October and today she introduced the subject to whet our appetite.

We will be completing three samples of crazy patchwork in the morning like these 3 monochromatic pieces. There is the choice to use hand and machine work - if you do not wish to carry a machine in, then all can be worked by hand.
A requirements list will go out soon to everyone interested in the crazy patchwork workshop.
 Ideas began to flow for the crazy patchwork - maybe a bag or a cushion cover in the afternoon?
 
 
Sharing thoughts on the IPad
Lorraine has begun samples/swatches using lace and hand techniques, to embellish her pinafore dress project. The ideas have come from a box of memories - certificates and papers a hundred years old
 
This wonderful idea is Kay's Hundertwasser caravan

 Lots of activity in the room today


 Cheryl has died the fibres to make her Hundertwasser
 

 A few decided to work on their Indigo wall hangings this afternoon

Thank you ladies for a great productive day again - the Hundertwasser is nearing completion for all of us. The pinafore dresses are slowly being designed and planned. We have a year but we will need a year for this adventurous project.
