Bag challenge

When we set the bag challenge last year, there were no restrictions as to how the bag would be made. We might be a spinners and weavers group but our members possess a lot of skills and we like to let them share those skills. Skills can help grow ideas in other areas and when you work with fibre and textiles then you need to keep those ideas coming.

Top right is Anthea’s winning stumpword embroidered bag. Beautiful made and so much time and patience went into this. Top left is the patchwork bag she made for her electronic spinning wheel.

Bottom left is Cathy’s homespun felted, knitted and crocheted bag Lovely autumn colours.

Middle bottom is Marina’s woven on a box bag which turned out so well and is very colourful .

Bottom right is Maxin’s beetroot stained fabric bag which she decorated well with fabric paints.

So many good bags which are all different but all designed to fulfil a good role in life.
