September...history in the making

 The FIRST to arrive...
 Had to be photographed for prosperity...We love you girls 😊😊 xx
 Today is the beginning of our new year and so we worked on UFO's and new work
This is Elaine's printed fabric from a print workshop with Alison Holme - destined for hand embroidery
 Preparation by Elise for the upcoming Tea and Coffee day in December. This is a collection of fruit tea bags (raspberry) adhered to a backing
 Roberta and her love of Zentangles
 Dawn completing an unfinished page of her travelling sketchbook
 Annie off on another crazy patchwork adventure while Pat completed her little black elephant
 Detail - elephants on an elephant

 Dina and Di love to work in their colour books and they are looking stunning
So much exploration and personnal development. Well done ladies!
 This lovely machine embroidery is about to be cut up for a good cause
 It is to become Christmas tree decorations - the centres of red felt hearts
 Cheryl's love of birds is developing into a sketch book full of all sorts of birds in mixed media
 Kay's hand embroidery
...hand embroidery continuing onto a quilt
 Lorraine's beautiful storage basket in wood
 ...just yummy!
Lorraine is working on a family history book
 These are some of the stunning pages depicting photographs, certificates and wonderful memories

 Pat W worked on her lovely Indigo panel adding motifs and couching with hand embroidery
 Pat P is edging a hand embroidered kit to give it a new lease of life
 We are glad to welcome Pat W back to us today 
She is looking so well
(and so is Pat's hand made chocolate cake...thank you Pat) 
 The afternoon continued non stop with work...
 ...discussion...
 and the usual dedication
We have discussed the future and each given ideas for the next twelve months. We are still completing our black and white + another colour projects and need a venue to exhibit them - ideas please!
In the meantime; October - Annie - Dry point printing
                            November - Lillian - wax papers
