Carol T set us a challenge

Carol provided small lengths of dyed prepared tops, which were languishing at the bottom of her stash, challenging those members who wanted to take part, to use it in whatever way they chose and share the finished results.... We were all excited about the vibrant colours in the top - purple, green and orange - as can be seen in the images below it was a challenge to keep those colours Kate felted a little sample book Kate says: Of the 3 colours in the tops, my instinct was to work with the orange first.  But NO!  Of course, without scissors it was not possible to separate the colours, as all the staples were painted across in stripes. Then, "what to do" with such a small portion of fleece top?  I decided to make little textile- samples on a thick felted backing (some of which was Nuno felting made at a previous Guild workshop).  The samples include: a woven front, felted balls, a tassle, a crocheted disc and chain, blanket stitch, and a needle-felted spiral.   Inge cam

Our members have again been busy and produced many different types of textile works, and this post contains a mini project from Kate - an Easter egg made with yarn, glue and a balloon. Carol C was inspired by a friend's sheep and made these two. Kate has been busy making Easter eggs. Using balloons, yarn and glue The final thread egg Carol T has been busy experimenting with her weaving. Carol T first woven scarf. Carol C wove a rug. Kate made various bags from some woven Jacobs fabric. Carla produced a few blankets and an octo for the QMCG. And Madeline knitted a pair of mittens. Carol C knitted a jumper. Inge worked with different ways of spinning the same fibre. Inge also had fun experimenting with variations of Yorkshire buttons. The orange and red buttons are those traditionally known as Yorkshire buttons. And she had fun with working with two colours. Kate also had a go at a Yorkshire button variation. Carla worked a felted picture. Inge finished her first acid dye experiment
