january meeting

hi world

we had our january meeting yesterday, (saturday)
thankfully the weather was much kinder this month.

we had about 45 -50 people there which is very good for this time of year. we had a lovely workshop planned with the embroiderer Shelley Cox teaching us her beautifull paisley goldwork pattern.

we will be finishing it at the march meeting as there is quite a lot of 'homework' to do.

she also had some ribbon embroidery scissor keepers

as well, which 4 ladies did.

There was a lot of different crafts being done this month, including knitting, cross stitch, beading and even some lace making

the piece below is a beautifull piece of rosaline lae by judith who is currently writing a book about it. she is going to be telling us about the book etc at our lace day next month. the pattern she is doing is the strawberry design from the group logo.

also at the meeting was the finished group project we have been working on.it is a mixed media picture for the honey pot house charity. it includes lace, beading, patchwork, quilting, wood turning, goldwork and painting.

thanks to terena for putting it all together and having it framed. it looks great and will be presented to them soon

looking forward to next month.

looking forward to hearing from other members too
