Coffee, chat and stitch...

When possible we try to meet up mid-month at one of our homes, yesterday it was my pleasure to be the host. It's not an official Maids meeting, just coffee, chat and stitch if you feel like it.

I did manage to get a few snaps to share with you, the first being the 'From the East' postcard, which I missed, from our New Year lunch featured in a previous post...


'From the East' textile postcard


Liz - work in progress
Liz is creating a wonderful piece for her 'Containment' theme using Tumbling Blocks. Liz has machine quilted the top and is now adding hand embellishments.



Margaret - work in progress
Working on her 'Fragility' theme, Margaret was hand stitching into her delicate felting which will become a soft draping scarf and will be joined by two further pieces.


Maggie - work in progress
Maggie stitched a mass of glorious French knots in various threads, (and you know how I like a French knot), this piece is for her 'Containment' theme.


Debbie - work in progress
And the last snap is from Debbie, who was hand embellishing into her beautifully hand printed fabric for 'Containment'.


Hope you enjoyed this brief look at some of the work that's being produced. With only one more word to choose in March, we're all very excited how this body of work is progressing for our forthcoming exhibitions.

Back soon
Sue
