JETS Creations
Over the months of February, March and April JETS have been busy making an egg and a creature that hatched out of the egg.
In the February workshop the girls and some of the helpers glued scraps of organza over a blown-up balloon. In the following workshop the balloons were popped and the eggs were embroidered and sequins added.
Then the creatures were cut out of felt and embroidered. These are just a few of the creations.
The original idea was for all the girls to make a bird - but some of them had other ideas -
We didn't have quite enough time, and the girls will finish their creatures at home. We are looking forward to seeing their beautiful completed creatures.

Spring Members' Day
Our Members' Day continued the 'Seasons' theme that we started last autumn. (1st April - didn't notice any April fools, though!)
Our Programme Secretaries, Gill and Lucy, demonstrated some image transfer techniques, which we tried out - with varying degrees of success - to transfer spring-related images onto fabric. It was fun, and provided useful techniques for future use.
Gill had brought in some ready-made examples to get us on track:
Then we got on with some stitching, nattering, enjoying a lovely bring-and-share lunch, and generally having a very enjoyable day.
Our thanks to Gill and Lucy for the effort they put into the demo's, gathering resources and sharing their materials so generously, and generally making the day a success.
