The theme for this month was prodded flowers, and we were lucky to be shown some of the flower projects started at Reeth this year under Gene Shepherd’s tuition. Gene Sheperds Web Page and has lots more pictures of the Reeth rug retreat.

This is another version of the prodded flowers, with all sorts of extras added, wired ribbons, buttons and felted flowers.
