They're all quite different even though they were all made in the same way!

Yarn Mandalas

 For our first project of the new year, we tried something completely different: yarn mandalas. Tricia led the session, and had made a few samples in advance.

Tricia's First Attempt

Tricia's Eight-Sided Mandala


Tricia's smaller format Christmas Tree Decoration

At the meeting we used our own left-over yarn and some inexpensive long lolly sticks to have a go. The smaller format option used cut down barbeque skewers! The recommended frame to use is wooden dowel rods, ideally fitted together by cutting into each rod, but for a first attempt, we kept the costs low.

Corded Coasters

 For the last meeting of the year, we were led by Adrienne and we had a go at making coasters using wrapped cord. We first had to sort out a programme for next term, so we didn't have as long as usual to work on our projects, so we had to finish up as 'homework'!

A Host of Christmas Angels

 Barbara led this project - and came up with the basic pattern and instructions. We used a lightweight card which we cut from a template, stuck it together and decorated with various sparkly shapes.

 At our recent meeting, we planned to finish projects, and some members who'd missed making needle cases wanted to do that. And here they are!
