Jewelled Bag

With teaching lots of metal work, students 

like to make their samples into a projects so here is one of the bags, 

inspired by Klimt.

Lots of metal foiling and stitch. 

Jayne's Stall

I love supporting local events especially when they are raising

money for charity. 

Jane' one the Tuesday Girls had a stall with her friends in Swaffham

to raise money for the Dereham Cancer Care Centre and Future Sense.

With me holding classes there it was even more of a pleasure.

There were lots of hand crafted items to look at and with the

weather being so good there was tea and cakes in the garden.

I brought several cards and a peg bag from Jayne. 

I needed a new one and it is a lovely addition to my line.

She was a bit embarrassed and several people said,

"Aren't you going to make one?"

My reply,

Not like Jayne's it is beautiful!
You can see them hanging up behind Jayne in the photo.

Brian- wooden toys, bird boxes etc

Louise- unique bespoke personalised cards for all occasions.

Rebecca- assorted beaded brooches and assorted items.

Alice- unique fabric handicrafts framed.

Julia- beaded bookmarks etc

Ann- individual cards for al occasions.

Jayne- assorted textiles and wooden handicrafts.

Elly- Jewellery

Ray-woodturning.

Trish- cake stall.

We should all support events like these as people are

putting their heart and sole into them.

Skull and Cross Bone Quilt

Another Anne made a Skull and Cross Bone Quilt for her Grand Son.

This is Anne's second quilt!

The quilting is all different sizes of skulls!

So really well done!

Anne learnt so many new techniques and she is now starting a

red and white stitched quilt.

A Table Runner and an Owl

Muriel has made several table runners as friends see the ones around

her home. This one has machine embroidered quilting

motifs in each of the middle squares which

really add to the design.

Muriel also had some fun with making her owl!

Matishall Football Team Cushion

Anne has made this cushion for her Grand Son and it looks like 

she will have to make a few more for the team.

Each of the footballs are made of appliqued hexagons and

hand embroidered.

Mackerel Beauty

Gill has been making a Dream Weaver Design 

for her final project for the City and Guilds Creative Textile Certificate, after

enjoying making and exploring Dorset Buttons. 

Each circle is exploring a different 

dream of 'The Mousehole Cat'.

See this previous post for more of Gill's wonderful work and the

first instalment of 'The Mousehole Cat'.

I just love this Cornish Tale. 

Baby Quilt

Brenda has also been making a cot quilt for her new Grand Daughter.

Brenda hasn't made a cot quilt like this before so she was trying out

new techniques and stitches.

Brenda's Bag

Brenda has made two "Windmill Bags' now.

One for herself and this one is for a friend.

I just love the floral lining with the taupe and spot outer fabric.

It gives the whole look of the bag a lift.
