2020 - New Year...New challenges

Christmas is over and the planning begins today for our new year - 2020. We have made decisions regarding individual work and a group project. We will design, stitch, weave and print for starters! Nothing like having a plan! We are going to kick off with an embroidered Hand - our own individual hands which may, or may not be joined together when complete. Either way we will have our hands kept for prosterity.

Today was very much a 'catch up' day and the room was full of 'slow, meditative hand stitching.' Exactly what the Doctor ordered.

In case you need reminding, we have our embroidered glass jars project. Margaret M has completed hers. A cold, hard object is now soft and warm

Thank you ladies...don't forget your homework (collecting your card/papers for collagraph printing and thinking about a design for your hand which we start in February).
