Upholstery was the topic chosen for the June meeting and Anne had sent to Cross Country Weavers for samples. The CCW library is sorted in weave types rather than end uses but Librarian Elaine happily sorted through and found all sorts of possibilities from the various sections and sent us a whole big bundle. I am always impressed with how useful this resource is . . . and it costs only the return postage.
As well, some people brought along remnants and offcuts of fabric that has been used for interior decor . . . curtains, cushions, seat covers, wall fabric and a few "whatevers". Lots of possibilities and lots of discussion.
Not many show and tell items this month but the ones that were there were all interesting:
These cheerful kitchen cloths would brighten anyone's day. Joy has been working on her own system for devising colour schemes.
Anne made a large throw in cotton using large scale Ms&Os.
Another piece from Anne. Having successfully produced a top fashion dog coat for Chester, she is now ready to hit the doggie fashion market with this plaid.
Noelene made this very fine scarf with huck lace stripes using rayon.
Betty was keen to try something from the Baby Blanket book in our library and came up with this cotton one with canvas weave stripes.
