Textile Postcards with Message - Fran Walker January Meeting 2022

 Our January meeting started with everyone wishing each other a Happy New Year and then Fran introduced us to Postcards with a message including the delightful samples below made by her and Anita.










The sample postcards showed us that the ways of working were endless and the choice of technique was ours. Fran had brought a whole range of materials for us to borrow and try out something new.

Most members already had an idea of their message and began by writing/stitching or using applique to form their message. 









Thought went into the backgrounds to either match the words or make them stand out.








By the end of the meeting one  member had finished and most of the other members were near completion. The uncompleted postcards would be finished at home.








There was a wonderful arrangement of ideas and a big thank you goes to Fran for inspiring us and bringing a range of techniques for us to try.

Thank you Fran for an inspiring day and getting us back into the routine of stitching.
