From 'Containment' to 'Unrestricted'...

A more sedate meeting took place this month. Final decisions were made on our flyers, it's so exciting when all the elements for an exhibition start coming together. 'Unrestricted' has set the Maids thoughts soaring, so we had interesting conversations at show and tell about ongoing pieces and also readjustments to previous work. All in all a delightful gathering with delicious coffee cake to keep our energy level up.

Here's a mixture of themes to share with you... 

Debbie - 'Containment' 

Sue - 'Fragility' work in progress

Jane - sketchbook cover

Jenni - sample piece for 'Containment' 

Chris - samples for 'Unrestricted' 

Margaret - samples for 'Unrestricted' 

Rosemary - 'Unrestricted' work in progress

Maggie - sample for 'Unrestricted'

Liz - 'Unrestricted' work in progress

Thanks for visiting, back soon.

Busy March meeting...

With our chainREACTION exhibition getting ever closer, we thought it was time to make a start on the designs for our flyers and advertising. Each of us brought two pieces of work to be photographed, we then discussed the layout, after a little tweaking we'll make a final decision at the next meeting.

Also on the agenda was our final theme...'Unrestricted' was chosen. We should complete these pieces by June giving us time to concentrate on exhibition planning and any finishing touches.

We then discussed our next body of work after chainREACTION. I can't reveal any details just yet, but I can say it sounds pretty exciting.

Alongside all this we had our Cornwall.Collected pieces with us, packed and ready for delivery to the Spring Quilt Festival, Exeter, which is on this weekend from 6th-8th April.

After all the organising was done it was good to sit and listen to the show'n'tell for 'Containment' and a few pieces from previous themes that we hadn't seen finish.

Below are detailed snaps to share with you, starting with a very tactile lampshade...

Jenni - 'Undulating' 

Margaret - 'Fragility'
