July Group Meeting: Show and Tell
We had a lovely session this month at the Crafting Group - Ruth had organised a 'Show & Tell' part to the session: essentially we were each asked to bring in something we had made and which we were proud of/had fond memories attached to the item. Information on each of these beautiful items is given below:
Left to right starting at the back of the table;
Brownie/Guide Embroidery - the lady who made this has seen something similar elsewhere which gave her the idea, but it was designed from scratch & is an 'original'
Orange Haired Doll - the lady who made this made 2 or 3 dolls. She have the other dolls away to family, but kept hold of this one
Red Coated Doll - a friend of one of the ladies brought her a surprise gift - a crafting session in Watton.
Tissue Box - the lady who made this designed this herself & took inspiration from a WI session she had been to where she had learnt various embroidery stitches
Ruby Anniversary Embroidery - this was bought for the lady by her daughter the year before her mother's 40th anniversary. This gave the lady time to complete it before her actual anniversary
Glass Wave - The lady who did this used multiple layering of glass & trips to the kiln to create the sailing boat theme
Baby Bonnet & Cardigan - made for the lady's daughter using different types of stitching - this remains a special keepsake of memories gone by
6x Embroidery Sampler - Made by a lady with little previous experience, the group thought it was a wonderful example of how effective mounted embroidery samples can be
Green Beaded Necklace - introduced as 'not perfect' by the lady who created it, Everyone loved the different types of beading used to create a multi-dimensional piece of jewellery
Silver Jewellery - 2x Seaside inspired/themed pieces. The bracelet used sea glass which was smoothed & then drilled, the necklace used sand to create a mould & then melted pewter to create the seashell shaped pendant
Picturesque Seaside Quilt - multiple layers & colours of material & stitching were needed to create a simple but striking quilted piece
Round Orange Wreath - techniques such as origami type folding & various stitching styles were used to create this autumnal inspired fabric wreath
Table Runner - melted wax crayons, quilting & hand embroidery came together to create a wonderful flower inspired piece
Crocheted Throw - piece by piece the creator of this throw crocheted various shapes which were later linked together to create a wonderful throw. Learning how to choose colours which worked together was also part of the learning for this lady
Xmas Quilted Panel - made specifically for the lady's mother (who loved the 12 Days of Christmas) the creator of this panel used stitching, beads, brass rings & many other embellishments to highlight elements of the 12 Days of Christmas theme
3D Crocheted Flower Throw - week by week (as the pattern was released) this throw grew. Left handed crafters will appreciate the added complexities faced by this 'left handed' crafting lady.
