Holiday Party and Ornament Exchange

We jumped right into all the great food members brought for our Holiday Party.







                                            We certainly had a great variety. 


         We exchanged ornaments and techniques on making them.




 Priscilla received a special pin cushion made by Jeanne out of a sweater Priscilla started knitting and never finished.  Jeanne bought the sweater at our auction.














Show and Tell

Jonetta made this wonderfully designed piece with several techniques and lots of french knots.


Susan made this Stack the Deck quilt, great use of colors.

Jonetta used ink to embellish this box, and she felted the faces that live in the box.


Carol did quite a bit of experimenting with rust dyeing, using springs and nuts etc. 


Alexa is trying something new making barrettes out of fired copper.


Priscilla showed us several of her 12 quilts, one a month, each with a theme for an online class
she took from Elizabeth Barton.  Quite a committment.
The trees she did with rust.


Note the letters in the lighter stripes.  She printed these letters on fabric.





The following pictures are examples of the crafts that Martha brought back from Central Asia. The silk rug is beautiful.
Just to see the different examples of crafts in another country was great.  Thanks Martha for sharing. She spent several weeks in Turkmenistan and Ubekistan.
