Christmas Baubles
Anita has been using the lockdown to catch up on completing
her unfinished pieces. As she was feeling Christmassy she made these beautiful baubles from kits bought over the years at the Harrogate Knitting and Stitching Show.
 


They look beautiful and very Christmassy. Thank you Anita for sharing them with us.
 
Farfield Mill 
Before lockdown Denise went to view an exhibition at Farfield Mill and she sent me photographs of some of the pieces.
These are my favourite pieces from the exhibition.


I love the almost book-like simplicity of the pieces. Thank you to Denise for sharing them with us.
 

 
Winter Wonderland 
Mary has sent us this beautiful photograph of the snow and ice "from that well-known alpine resort of Chorley," to wish us all a Happy New Year!

 Sandra has sent a photograph of an Amaryllis she has grown from a bulb.

 

 
There is plenty of beauty to find if you look for it but please be careful on the ice.
Thank you to Mary and Sandra
 

 
Book of Fantasy Flowers 
 
Anita has finished making a stitched book of fantasy flowers which she started making with Sandie Maher. She has used a variety of techniques to produce some very pretty floral pages which she has made over time dipping in and out of as time permitted.




Thank you Anita. I love the pinky-purply colours and the range of techniques. I will post some more pages tomorrow.
The next batch of pages are below.
 









Well done Anita! That was a mammoth task to complete your lovely book.
 
 
Temari Ball

I am sorry I have been slow to post these photos from Sandra but I had to buy a new computer and then try and work out how to gain access to the blog to post again!!

Sandra has made another Temari ball with the chrysanthemum pattern. She says she finds making them quite addictive.




Thank you Sandra the colours are very cheerful.

Fabric Origami Christmas Tree Decoration, December Meeting 2020

Happy Christmas to you all !

A sparkle of tree decorations

 Janet has just finished making six very festive looking origami tree decorations. They look fabulous and will look extra sparkly when twisting and turning, hanging from a tree or branch.

 A seasonal uplifter, thanks Janet.

 

An Origami Hanging

Anne has made three origami decorations, joined them together to make a very pretty Christmas Hanging. The red beads pick out the colour in the fabric and add a festive touch of red berries.

Thanks Anne, It looks wonderful and will make your room look festive.
