November Meeting - Wrap Up for the year Part 1

What a busy, buzzing meeting we had to finish the year. Sometimes we wonder if we should despair about the dwindling numbers in our little group . . . but then we have a great day when everyone turns up and there is so much to see and do we were almost late for lunch. (Perhaps we should lunch more often).  Rain, hail and cold wind arrived to join the party but even that did not quench the high spirits.

There are lots of photos to share so this will be the first of three instalments. We begin with the stash reduction grocery bag challenge. 

Nancy's knitted mesh bags are ideal for carrying fruit and veg.

Although Chris can think of another use for one. Chris, it would be great if you still had your luxuriant plaits hanging down over your shoulders . . . .

Joan had the brilliant idea of starting with an existing fabric bag and using it for lining. She used honeycomb weave exteriors to great effect.

Rosemary made two big, bold, beautiful bags. They would make grocery shopping a pleasure rather than a chore.

Chris's cheerful bags were shown in the last post. Now is a chance to see (below) close-ups of her small patterns in bright colours that sing on the multi-blue background

Rose's collection is another step nearing completion - two bags finished, three works-in-progress and one that might become something else.

Check back again in a few days for Show and Tell.
