Finished Pieces of Work

Pam has been very busy since the March meeting and has made three wonderful bags pictured below.

 The first two bags are Jewel Bags made by joining  patchwork squares together in the shape of a bag twice and then fitting them inside of each other so they are reversible

The first bag used geometric patterned fabric while the second used pretty floral fabrics, both Japanese in style. She has covered the drawstring ends with a folded tulip construction.

The third bag is a flower bag with a contrast lining and drawstring top.

All three bags are wonderful and I love how she has made a feature of the drawstrings.

Thank you Pam.

Christina has made two beautiful bags

The first is a flower bag with contrast lining which has been hand sewn as the traditional bags would have been. She has emphasised the seams by hand stitching in orange running stitch.

The second bag is a jewel bag with a lovely contrast between the pink and the darker patterned fabric.

Thank you Christina.

Joan has just finished her neat and precise  blackwork that she has made into a name badge.

She has embroidered her name and then decorated the edges with beads attaching a brooch pin to the back.

She has thought carefully about the placement of the motif, beads and name to produce a very eye-catching piece.

Thank you Joan.
