April ''No Showers here''

 Individuality is everywhere...
New baby due in Jude's family so a new patchwork quilt is the order of the day
 Lillian and Pat continued with their work begun with Stevie Walker
Pat enjoying her figure in layered cut work to add to the Stevie Walker project
Colour books - Gillian translated a printed page into a stitched page of stitches
A great idea to discover how to achieve texture with hand embroidery
How lovely is this stitched page of hot colours?
Teabag continuation ... blue and brown ... a great combination
Pages of seasons by Pat
Joy is working on one of her favourite subjects - ceramics for inspiration - stunning copper and turquoise
Joy painting - ceramic vase project
New project introduction for June and July -
We all brought in at least one hand made book to share with the group
So many techniques and ideas
Fabric and paper pages galore

The new book project is to be a way of using up our UFO's, our printed papers and fabrics
Other work continued
Ruth's patchwork - tumbling blocks - USA style

Annie's crazy patchwork with the addition of trees
Kay's hand embroidery for a forthcoming wedding
Margaret Biggs - blue and brown again
Group discussions and sharing of ideas
                A stencil print made on a gelli plate, french knots, running and stem stitch  - Jude


''Homework is to prepare for the book project in June and July''
Nothing like a good clear out for the summer
