It's always tricky starting a new group, the first 20 mins of the session are spent talking about possible projects, exchanging ideas and thinking through the process of work. There is often some uncertainty about what each student wants to make and how this should be done. Today was one of those sessions, but I can proudly report that after about half an hour everyone was cutting and stitching and chatting about what inspires them and things they wanted to try.
Here are the results:
A rather cross looking pumpkin pin cushion with a fetching flat hat, to be finished next week:
This is Pierre (!) another french inspired pumpkin pincushion all finished and ready for action of the stitching kind.
Karen started on a collage for the Centre and was really pleased with the progress of her blanket stitch. Over the weeks, I will get the whole group to contribute something.
........and 'trumpet fanfare'........This lovely mobile was started way before the summer holidays. Sarah has put a lot of time and thought into every detail and has enjoyed creating a beaded wonder:
Sadly it was too long to get a decent picture off my camera phone :
So I tried some close-up's, bit out of focus:
You can see the lovely button, bead and embroidery details here:
Your students are very lucky having such a creative and enthusiastic teacher !
