April Practical

The meeting in April is a practical session and we are meeting in the evening.  The project is embroidered felt circles.  You will need to bring with you your hand sewing kit and embroidery threads.  The felt will be available for you to select the colours you would like at the meeting.


The lilac one is the original project sample and took 1/2 an hour.

This was used as the basis for a book cover as shown below and shows the many different ways that you can attach your circles.

March Meeting

Our March meeting, held on 6th March, was the last afternoon meeting until the Autumn.  It was a beautiful sunny  afternoon and our speaker, Moira Neal, was equally bright.

Her presentation was inspiring and the result of careful planning, it was a detailed explanation of the title "A View from my Kitchen Window and how it inspired a quilt".  The quirky quilt was displayed and the detail astonishing.

Moira's talk was accompanied by pictures she had taken, mainly during "lockdown", and how they developed and were used in the quilt.  The behaviour of creatures in her garden was fascinating.  Lots of practical tips and explanations of techniques were also explained.
