Colours and Fleece

Ella is on the floor piecing together a quilt with help from Dorothy, Ann and Catherine. Its a skill to get the colours balanced in the pattern and we often ask each other for advice.
Catherine had some squares that she had sewn together from scraps she had. It is very effective and a great idea for using up the wee bits of materials we gather from quilting
 Ella made this bag and was instantly asked to hold a workshop on it.

 Catherine is wet felting a piece of sheep fleece. She is agitating layers of fleece with soap and hot water until the piece binds together and does not pull apart when teased.
This might look a mess but its perfectly organised chaos.  Shirley's pictish piece is in the foreground. Joan is continuing on a Japanese design panel and Ann is sewing a landscape piece.
