And brought in Mittens-sourced items for presents, which went home with half a dozen stitchers. Rug hooks, for a member, seen below in quilt mode, who teaches many stitching forms, and has added them to her toolkit. Bone crochet hooks to another, laying tools to another. All went home happy.
Anyway, if you'd been there, you'd have enjoyed all these works:
Florence deciding on the background color for this artwork, and considering the dark blue
Carol almost done with another needlepoint pillow, I think a Kaffe Fassett design
Other Carol, center in great jacket, teaching today's counted cross stitch project
Lyna, modeling a great shisha stitched top
Above and below, wonderful fine needlepoint work, yes that's stitching, not a printed design!
If anyone's counting, there was an approximate 70 year difference from youngest to oldest in today's group. Kindred spirits don't see barriers there!
So it was fun, and I almost fell into guild blog mode here, but it's just my art blog, don't get carried away...
What beautiful stitchery, all of it. That fine canvas work is amazing and I love the Shisha embroidery too. So much to try, so little time.
ReplyDeleteI never tire of seeing what people get up to with needle work. We've always done it, in one form or another, and this is just lovely to see in progress.
ReplyDeleteIt's also nice to see things I'll never use being used so joyfully.
That's what it's about, after all.
