Show and tell

Big busy day at the club and the weather was kinder to us than yesterday. Alexis helped to get us going with fractal spinning and that was making everyone feel more confident. We loved Maxine’s dog coat and Sue’s nuno felted scarves were just superb. All of our projects are inspiring because we see skill and colour and a different way of doing things.

Show and tell

What a wonderfully inspiring, creative day full of colour and skills! Our workshops always give us a lift. Our first nuno felting a silk scarf workshop was today and the results were amazing. We cannot wait to see the finished scarves next week. We thank Alexis for all her time and effort in ensuring we could achieve good results in this workshop. We also thank John for shifting furniture so we could fit the workshop in and those of us who were not participating today. Our show and tell table was really interesting too.
