Goings-on

Lots of fun things happening this week,  starting with a needle felting session on Thursday with some of the Friday ladies.  Some of us had a class on needle felting last month and we thought we'd dedicate an afternoon to this relaxing pastime.
Julie and Paula came to cheer us on and work on their own work. Julie was working on a new Christmas quilt, and Paula was stitching a tree, most intriguing!
Ann made some tiny little woolly things, which eventually merged into the most adorable little teddy!
I had started to work on a small (4x6") felted

image of Emu Bottom, Victoria's oldest homestead in Sunbury. It's an interesting process, and it taught me to use less wool than expected!
Melva was interested in learning to needle felt, and with a little help, made a sweet little bird, as a basis of a brooch perhaps.
Helen had started a large landscape felt, with a sky background and a field full of flowers. Can't wait to see it finished.
Today was Guild day in Geelong. and Sue and I gave a brief talk about our visit to Quilt Canada. Cheeky Tracee kindly made some photos. It was nice to remember all the amazing places and good times we had on our trip.

The portrait is a quilt made by Mary, a fabulous
machine embroiderer.
