"You need Hands" February 2020

 Jude introduced the new group project - preserving our individual hand prints in textiles. We will all tackle the idea in our own style of work.
 Sylvia's playing with design ideas
 Margaret has begun on fabric with a henna inspired pattern
Ruth's is also on fabric. Fabric printed hands on a great background 
Sketching began

Janet has padded a glove and has begun to hand embroider the lines of interest 
Annie is working in her own colourful way with hand appliqué
Pages from Annie's Colour Books - there are 3 books
More colour! Elaine's tiny stitches

All made from a thread box heading for the bin
Elise is working on "Lord of the Rings" project

Debbie's story of her curtains which have travelled from home to home, now find a new life potentially as a book cover "Every Picture tells a Story"
Margaret Bos is working on aged fabric pieces for her daughters 

Pat W was working on this wonderful colourful quilt before she died. 

We are now finishing it off by taking it in turns to hand stitch 'in the ditch'. It will then be given back to Pat's family. 
Thank you ladies
