Afternoon Of Craft.

 Yesterday I had a really lovely time at my house with two fellow Aussie Hero Quilters. Caroline and Nicole. We did Quilt as you go techniques and talked through the various products for printing on fabric and painting on fabric. They and I enjoyed ourselves it went by so very very quickly.

The beautiful roses straight from the garden, How lovely, and roll of batting was a wonderful surprise, So lovely and generous, thank you ladies. xoxoxo 50% bamboo 50% cotton batting 228cm by 8.2m. Wonderful indeed.

Making Kits.

 These are the latest baubles I have made which makes the total made so far this year 40. Some are knitted and some are felt and wool hand stitched.

 This is the felt and wool assembly.

 I have printed the instructions and pattern pieces into a Christmas card along with all the bits.

All ready for Crafty Hijinks if it goes ahead this year, If not then they will be for the Christmas party. Off to finish assembling the other kits today, lots of tracing and cutting out bits. 55 left to do.

Crafternooners

For a couple of weeks my Crafternooners have been working with felt. I have been asking them to save all the little bits of felt that they think could not be used and they will be making little pictures that will be tags, cards and brooches. They will embroider them and add sequins and beads. This is just an idea of what they could be coming up with.
