Hanging Baubles - Janet Tabarandak November Meeting 2022

 Janet, one of our own members, arrived with armfuls of fabric,  ribbons and a collection of beautifully embroidered baubles that she had already made to inspire us.

The designs ranged from baubles to robins and from Santas to Christmas trees.

 Janet showed us that we could use a range of materials for applique and the choice of fabrics and stitching was up to us. Our members were brimming with ideas for their own bauble.

They chose their background fabrics, then the applique fabrics and threads. Within minutes patterns and pictures began to emerge,

More and more detail was added and the baubles began to look more and more Christmassy! 

After a day of cutting and stitching, Christmas decorative baubles began to appear and Janet gathered us altogether to look at the wide range of creativity on display. Not one of the baubles was the same. Each small embroidery was individual and delightful in its own way.

Members took home their nearly completed bauble to finish at home by decorating the frame, adding a hanger and tidying up the back.

They will bring the finished pieces back for the December meeting where they will form the entries for the Christmas competition.

It was a very good day and all thanks go to Janet for her ideas and support as we made our baubles.

It will be good to see them all completed at the December meeting.

Thanks again to Janet.
