We had fun re-using some things that might otherwise have found their way into a bin!
At our last meeting, we made and decorated some felt pouches. This is a project we did about four years ago, but we've had enough new members since then, that it seemed like a good one to repeat. The pouches were decorated with die cuts of leftover felt using some Sizzix Bigz dies.
Some members are still finishing their projects, so I'll add more photos when I get them.
The project this time was fairly simple, making fridge magnets which hold a pad of sticky notes using lolly sticks.
Sue H ran our most recent project - something completely different too! We made thread catchers. I know that anyone who has ever sat stitching or sewing knows how many thread ends and scraps you get as you work. The idea of the thread catcher is to store these until you can get rid of them. It's a clever idea. They twist up to keep the threads inside.
Adrienne led the most recent meeting, and we made a couple of photo display gadgets using CDs as a base.
Our most recent meeting was spent quilling. Some members had quilled previously, but most hadn't. The room was very quiet as we curled our paper strips! Tricia ran the session and made some samples in advance.
Adrienne ran our most recent project, and over two meetings we made patchwork clutch bags using Sashiko embroidery. The results were amazing!
