“Our Potluck and Show ‘n Tell”

After cancelling our last two meetings, Dec. and Jan. because of snow, we were grateful to be able to get together for a wonderful Pot Luck and Lots of Show and Tell.

 

Julie, owner of Threadbender Yarn Shop

Brought a couple examples of free form knitting

which she teaches in her shop.

Julie also brought these free-form whimsical bowls that she is making.

Pam

Pam has made all these clothes since last April.
She likes to use about 6 different patterns, but changes
the collar or length.

She also relearned how to crochet, her sewing mascot.

Janice

Janice purchased these beautiful woven items, both dyed with Cochineal.

She wove this small bag, yarns dyed with all natural dyes

Marie

Marie made this large sculpted piece using several techniques,
after taking a class from Martina Celerin.

She also made this very nice felted mushroom picture.

Nancy

Nancy is thoroughly enjoying learning techniques online 
from Take Two.

Suzanne

Suzanne makes a really cute mouse with crocheted hat

Melanie

Melanie loves to make clothing out of mail bags.

Diane

Diane is experimenting with slow stitching on her Magnolia.

Coleen

Coleen made this Rya Knot pillow with leftover warp.
She is has also started making a sample book with her
weaving techniques.

Gargi

Gargi finished her Cindy Grisdela class project.
And got out her paints to make these very pretty tulips.

Priscilla

Priscilla has been busy with her new 4 harness loom, after selling
her larger looms, she has bought one back.

she had fun weaving while using the shibori technique on the white scarf and the
one she is wearing.  It made wonderful little pleats.

Lin

Lin matted her felted pieces, and put her small felted
pieces on fence pieces that washed up on her shore.

She also made these thread bowls from a free class by Meredith
Woolnough.  A wonderful artist who uses thread, check out her web site.

Sherry

Sherry wanted to make something from the view out of and
airplane window.  I think these are quite clever.

Wendy

Wendy made this Kaleidoscope Quilt  from Ricky Tims book.

Wendy is also learning to weave, lots of fun you tube videos from Spruce
and Linen.  Felting on top of the weaving adds a little more detail.

She also took the free class from Meredith Woolnough.

This was an onlin class called Loco Motion from Ricky Tims.
You learn to draw your own pattern and cut out the pieces to put
back together. Interesting.
