Janine's double sided quilt,

Gaynor’s Demo and more tasters from our Rainforest work

It was Gaynor’s turn to give us a demo this week and she showed us how to do some work using the hexagon and at the next meeting we will all be trying to turn out something similar.

This first piece of work is not from the Rainforest project, but is being stitched by Rosemary who says she picks it up now and then and continues adding to it. The textures are unbelievable.

 

Here is Sue showing us some of the work she’s making for another project of ours and it’s looking so good.

All the other photos are little tasters from the work in progress for our coming exhibition on The Rainforest.

 

SerenTex Tuesday

When you look at the next few photos you will understand why Chuckie Chicken is going to pick up the tape measure.


Well, well. Just look at this!


And this! Sue brought a Tiramisu cake to share, a BIG one. But fair play to Miriam, she deserves a large piece of that cake, she's just become a Grandmother for the first time. Congratulations to Miriam, Derek and the happy young parents.



Miriam is making this quilt for Isaac her new grandson. There's a lovely story that goes with the designs in this quilt and she will tell Isaac the story one day when he's older. I would like to share it with you too, but I think I'd better have her permission first.


This shows that four heads could be better than one when it comes to designs.


We're all computer literate in this group now as you can see.


Here is Anne's tree design in progress.


This is Rhiannon's weaving in progress. I think it's going to be really special.


This is Gwyneth working on her tree. I love this one.


Mary is busy creating work for her coming exhibition and it is hard going.


Just look at her needle. It got bent as she was pushing it through the fabric!


She had to resort to using pliers to stitch this.

We have two keen quilters in the group, Rosemary and Gaynor. This Bargello work is Rosemary's and is inspired by Global warming, she also had a lovely piece of weaving that I forgot to take. I'm sure Gaynor had some work with her, but I don't seem to have had a photo of it. Sorry Gaynor.
