Two meetings combined in one. We are busy getting rugs ready for the ” virtual exhibition” that we are bringing to the July meeting for photographing, then uploading onto both these pages and Flickr, so there will be more photos to share next month.

 

We have been finishing braided rugs started at Cober Hill:

and mine has not got much further, but it was good to be able to show it to the group.

The idea of this Candle holder.. battery candles only… was shown to us at Cober Hill by Wendy, we have decided to make them for our Christmas exchange this year:

We also have two new wall hangings of members homes:

 

And another pictorial rug of a Cockeral.. quieter than the one that lives next door…

We have two new rugs based on traditional diamonds:

and a fleecy rug:

and a knitted rug.. sorry both not so  good photos… but both lovely:

 

We had a short workshop in June on rug design using paper cutting as a source of inspiration. We had fun making cut out paper shapes, loosely based on patterns in an old rug book .

Hopefully some of these paper cuts will materialise as exciting  rugs in future months…
