Embellished Flower Brooches

While we were having our textile session at Cancer Care

Beryl popped in with some of her Embellished Flower Brooches.

For the Centre to sell at their coffee morning which they hold once a 

month on the last Tuesday.

Beryl has been coming along to textiles for 18 months and her first 

session with me was on the Embellisher Machine,

she fell in love with the technique and got a machine immediately.

She is now a master and her Embellished Flower Brooches

 don't stay unsold for  long, 

as you can see by the hand coming into the photo!

West Norfolk Yarn and Textile Group

On Saturday 25th February was the second meeting

of the WNYTG, the group encourages all types of

yarn crafts.

There was dressmaking, weaving, knitting, embroidery

and I took the embellisher machines and a table

of inspiration, wools threads and felt, for the sharing

of a skill.

Everyone that had a go loved creating, the waistcoat

looked fantastic.

The next meeting is on the 17th March

at East Runcton Village Hall.

Visitor to the Wednesday Card Making Class

While we were starting to make our cards, Helen

one of my new Students walked in and thought it

was 'Textile Tuesday'. We all had a giggle as we

have all mislaid days at some time or another.

Anyway, she stopped for a cup of tea, chat and showed us

the quilt she is working on, a

Block of the Month called,

'Patchwork Shop'.

The Blocks are a mixture of patchwork, applique and

embroidery. Helen's blocks were beautiful.

She also showed us her finished

Embellished Needlecase she started making the week

before @ The Gallery, 'Textile Tuesday'. It looks great,

Well done! Helen.

Embellished Felt

Brenda started last week @The Gallery by

embellishing a background fabric in all blues

with a hint of green.

She had in mind to make her friend a gift which was

so unique and different to anything she had given before.

Brenda had admired the embellished needlecases and

started. Well first session went so quick

for her she embellished her felt and then

mastered embroidery stitches on my sewing machine.

This week was the flowers, leaves and beading.

Inside is lined and has felt pages.

I think it is really beautiful and feels

wonderful to hold.

Her friend is very lucky.

Well done Brenda!

Lynda Enjoys Embellishing

Lynda Turner, Dereham's Permanent Deputy Mayor

visited The Gallery, to try her hand at Taster Session with

the embellisher machine and found it very therapeutic after her very busy morning.

She then moved onto the computerized sewing machine to add some

additional embellishing stitches.

I hope we will see her again on a Tuesday gallery session as

she really enjoyed herself and produced a wonderful piece

of work.
