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.
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.
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.
We spent our last meeting making gatefold cards. These are fairly simple, and make a change from standard 'book fold' cards.
We used pre-cut 6 by 6in cards where we didn't fold the centre score and paper mainly from The Range or The Works with mirror card and various embellishments from individual members' stash.
For our first meeting of 2026, Sue led us making table favours that look like woolly hats. These don't require knitting or crochet, and just consist of card rings and leftover yarn.
Our recent meeting resulted in some beautiful winter-themed cards. Some used images from Hunkydory or Find It Creations and others used images they'd bought for themselves.
