March Meeting Show and Tell

 Shelagh has completed the little book to go in her box by drawing and painting these beautifully coloured birds. It makes a wonderful keepsake.

Thank you Shelagh.

Anne has also finished her book by drawing individual little pictures that each fit in a pocket. The more you look the more detail you see with little messages, bits that open and extra details.

The graphic detail is fantastic and you have made graphic detail your own.

Thank you Ann.

Sandra has finished her woodland diorama with the addition of model making moss and leaves used in scenes for model trains. It looks great fun with animals to look for.

Thank you Sandra

Sandra has also finished her piece on papyrus in Ancient Egypt.

A papyrus plant was embroidered and then surrounded by geese, hieroglyphs, a young woman holding papyrus, a scribe and a column based on papyrus. These pieces were embroidered on fake papyrus made with silk fibres and strips of silk rods. The pieces were made separately and then added together to make one large embroidered picture. The scrolls and beads were bought from the British Museum.

Thank you Sandra for an interesting piece.

March Meeting 2026

 This months workshop was cancelled at the last minute due to an unforeseen car breakdown.

Some members decided to stay and work on pieces they had in their bags.

This is a delightful knitted blanket made from Sean the Sheep squares interspersed with patterned squares.

This embroidery has a lovely graphic quality to it.

Another crab is in its infancy and ready to join the wonderful crab already completed.

Another woodland piece in the making which will be frosted when finished. The result could be a masterpiece or a disaster!

This beautiful embroidery with hints of Indian embroidery is well on its way to completion. The background will be kantha stitched to complete the piece.

A very pretty checked pattern is emerging from this weaving frame by combining the colours together different colour combinations are forming.

One member decided to go ahead with her version of goldwork and sparkly circles began to appear inside of her heart shape.
