Carousel Cards

We started back after the summer with some Carousel Cards. The original versions of these were based on circles, but they work well as squares too and that's what we did. Any size square will work, but most of these started as 12 by 12 in card sheets.

Stepper Cards

 These look a little different, but can still fold flat, and using this method, aren't difficult to create the basic card base.

Making Cards using Stencils

 Sue ran our most recent project, and supplied some stencils and ink, while some members brought their own, or chose to use a different medium. There were some lovely results!

Plastic Canvas

 We had a play with plastic canvas a few weeks ago, but as the projects take longer than some to complete. I'm only getting around to posting them now.



Jyotsna chose to make bookmarks as gifts


Nadi chose to use a Mary Hickmot pattern and turn the result into a card.

Parvin made a monogram as a gift



Shobha also added her design to a card





Tricia made several things. The boxes and coasters used Etsy patterns, while the needlecase was kept simple and geometric.

Iris Folding

 Michelle recently introduced us all to Manx Quilting, and as soon as I saw it, I thought of Iris Folding - a papercrafting technique I've tried a few times in the past. We had a go today, and the results were lovely and so varied.

Manx Quilting

 Michelle brought us this idea. For people (like me) who are afraid of quilting, this technique uses mainly tacking stitches which aren't visible. 

These pieces are taking a little while to complete, so I'll add more when they're done.
