Our meeting this month was taken by one of our own members Elizabeth Shorrock who showed us how to make a wall hanging by using papers that had been coloured and printed in various ways.She brought a book of samples, various hangings and pictures with her for us to look at and which you can see in the photographs.We started off with 4 A4 sheets of tissuetex which we had coloured and printed in our own choice of colours. We then cut and reassembled the papers several times to produce a different pattern each time.
The new paper was then attached to interfacing with bondaweb using the iron.
When the new papers had been reassembled a couple of times we then cut out squares ready to assemble into a wall hanging, once they had been stitched and backed.Most of us got as far as the stitching and we took all the pieces home to complete.
At the next meeting I am sure there will be lots of completed wall hangings!

We all had a good day and a lot of other ideas came out of making the papers. Thank you Elizabeth.
