Megan’s Embroidery

Megan's PullworkThis is Megan’s current embroidery project.  Megan used the pullwork method, where threads are cut  and pulled out, leaving gaps which are stitched and pulled in various ways to create a multitude of effects.  Megan has been doing embroidery for more than seventy years.  What an achievement!

The Gathering is Getting Closer

Octopus Garden

We’re almost there.  Two weeks to go and all is well.  All volunteers should have picked up their letter from the Cottage, detailing when and where you need to be.  Thank you very much to everyone who has donated their time for this wonderful event.  All acceptances have been received and we will be hosting 101 guests for The Gathering 2016.  Thank you so much to Lyn who has done such an amazing job organising the event for us.  Remember to save our parking spaces and the spaces in The Lions Hall carpark for our guests.  Aprons will be in the hall for all volunteers and don’t forget your name tag.

Louise’s Bright Felting

Louise's Felt
Louise has made this stunning felted piece using a mountain of brightly coloured woollen strips. It is very eyecatching and you can tell by the look on Louise’s face that she is very pleased with the result. It does look amazing.

Linda’s Baby Clothes

Linda's Baby ClothesThese beautiful clothes and the blanket behind were made by Linda for a preterm baby in her family.  The detail in these clothes is amazing.  Linda’s work is always so neat and she has taken extra care with the dress, cape and blanket for this baby which is so special to her.  So much love has gone into this ensemble.
