Hi Cordelia, Izy´s not here at the mo so I can tell you she doesn´t paint the picture she just draws on the silk with a pencil very lightly and then makes tiny stitches around the drawing. she then fills the pattern in with single silk thread. Awesome work.

Hey - thanks so much for sharing all your pictures = all your information = and the website with all the gang! So enjoyable to see you all working together to ejoy each other's company as well as share your talents! I envy you and your group. Please tell all the ladies "Hello" and thank them also for posting the web page.

Izy

Sure will Rein, our webmaster has been doing some work on the site and it needs updating badly...when it gets done, I will let you all know so you can see all the lovely latest projects we have been doing!!

Thanks for your lovely comments everybody :D :D

This is truly what a quilt group should be. The talent is unlimited and Helen's embroidery skills are mind boggling. It is also obvious that in spite of all the talent, there is still an ongoing learning process. I can't imagine anyone at one of these gatherings ever gets bored.

Izy

Millie - to be honest I would say that the first couple of hours or so, is purely checking out what everyone has achieved in the last week, ooohhhh and ahhhhhhing and complimenting everyones work!!

We have a very varied ability in the group, some brand new members who have never done any patchwork or quilting before, to some very talented patchworkers and we all just get stuck in helping each other....we have knittings and dressmakers...who are getting tempted to quilt, it just rubs off on each other!!

We are planning our own show for October if we can get over a couple of hurdles with the local town hall, so that is going to be exciting for us!!

Everyone looks like they're having so much fun. That gals embroidery is gorgous and I love the flowers. Thanks for sharing your pics

Izy

Hey guys - I have a message from Helen - who creates the wonderful embroidery, I mentioned to her last week about all the lovely compliements that you had posted here, she is not very computer savvi, but I persuaded her to check us out here - which she DID.......

Helen asked me to thank you all very much for your compliments, she was very pleased that you enjoyed seeing her work :D

I will continue to take pictures over the weeks so you can watch her progress!!

Thanks again folks :D :D :D
