June Meeting

Despite the beautiful weather we had a very respectable size group today.

The work flowed and was varied as always but I was very pleased to see the progress  that has been made in the Hundertwasser project

 Well done Alma on producing Hundertwasser's boat (picture on the right)

This will work brilliantly with Kay's Caravan amidst all the houses and trees

Sylvia is near to finishing and after a reluctant start has really enjoyed doing the work

 Look at the wonderful detail in the shrubs/trees

 

 

Pat has completed her Hundertwasser house

If you look closely there is the 'compulsory' fabric used from a previous project

Elaine putting the finishing touches to her house

Janet L is nearing the end of her Hundertwasser house

Other project work continued in abundance including the ABC Travelling sketchbooks

        

Janet C: "E for Entomology" work in progress

Jude: "E for Embellisher"

This knitting by Joy is also for the ABC travel sketchbooks: "F for Fan" stitch (Fan and Feather Joy?)

 

Debbie's "All that Glisters"





 The embroidered bunting is a joy

 Debbie also worked on her Indigo hanging

Alma has a homemade way of making braids - it makes a lovely fine braid and is so simple to use

 Pat worked on a cushion front using lovely fabrics and ribbon/braid

 

 Cheryl worked on the sewing machine making her embellished bags from recycled jeans

 Pat W worked from a lovely pattern for a pincushion "The Birdhouse".

The tiny patchwork pieces, in tones of blue are beautiful 

 If I had any bunting with me today - I would have hung it!!

Joy has worked so hard and tirelessly on this wonderful fabric book

Hand made beads hold the leaf page

Beneath the leaves is another page with a pocket

 This is the last page of the book with a Bluebird

The bluebird page is incomplete and everyone descended to offer their suggestions for its completion

Connect in Threads at their best - working together to help one another

 



This is the book cover - front and back

Well done Joy - the end is in sight

 

As a footnote, please remember that the August meeting is our Garden Party

It will be the second Thursday as usual - venue to be announced

Hope you can make it
