Christmas Felting

Well it's been all about Xmas since November, so I thought I'd share what I've been up.  I ran a Xmas workshop for the ladies of the Tandridge Handicraft Society in November, making sparkly felt and hanging decorations.  One of the talented ladies then made a lovely hanging decoration and a bag from her felt, which she showed me at the Oxted Craft Fair on 30 November (so obviously I took photos of her creations!).  It was great to see everyone who popped in to visit the fair above Oxted Library, and I think we all enjoyed a busy day.  Then as well as submitting my latest project article for Sewing World magazine in December, I've been making Xmas bunting for friends.  As usual I had more grand plans for things to make, but lack of time meant that was all I managed.  Anyway, hope you all have a relaxing Christmas!

 

2012 Jubilee Friendship Ornaments

Here's my contribution to the Jubilee festivities, with these friendship ornaments using Jubilee-coloured organza fabric (made from layering felt, yarns and organza and heavily machine embroidering on top).  These are time-consuming to make so I didn't get time to send out as many as I'd wanted, but hopefully those who received them enjoyed this little bit of Jubilee fun!
