2025 in review: June

Every now and then we like to take it easy and gather for a sociable sew 'n' chat.  Everybody works on their own projects and shares ideas.  It is typically at these meetings we see the long term projects make an appearance.


Our embroiderers, Heather B, Heather L, Carolyn and Judith had all been working on their group challenge pieces.


 Eileen and Leona had been felting.  We also had a few older heirloom pieces on display.


It was a lovely way to spend a Saturday morning.

The new year kicked off in fine form with Pat giving an inspiring presentation on eco-dyeing.  Following up with a fun activity doing rust and turmeric dyeing on fabric and paper.  These treasures have made a number of appearances throughout the year as thy have been incorporated into journals, collage and various stitching projects. This was followed up by Show 'n' tell  where our creatives brought out a truly impressive array of pieces showcasing a diverse range of technique and creativity. There was quilting, doll making, collage, storytelling, calligraphy and a beautiful collection of textile art journals.

I'm really happy with the end result - a lovely and bright apron with deep pockets! What have you done with your workshop pieces? Happy making!
