What a day we had!!!

What a day we had today.  Penny Mackenzie came with lots to show us, and lots for us to attempt.  With her skills she talked us through, and set us all to work on a Christmas table centre.... or for those that wanted a smaller project .. coasters.  

 Penny explained that she likes to use soft vilene and draw her pattern on, that way she never has to battle with getting paper from the back of her completed work.  It is very important to draw your patterns carefully, and these projects could be machine stitched or hand stitched.

Very nicely drawn

Choosing colours is always the difficult bit, but they look good Toni

Now to begin..

 Growing gradually

Bigger and bigger

Almost finished

Well done everyone, do you think we could get to see these completed next week???

Once again I think we have had a very successful 'all day' at Highampiecemakers, and many thanks  has to go to Penny.
