Mince Pies and Messages

Anne Menary (click on Annes name for a link to her website) will be running our Postcard workshop at the December meeting. Look back to the archive for July - current projects in this blog for information about the Olympic postcard challenge with our alloted state of Moldova.

Anne thought we might work with fabrics in the colours of moldova (red, yellow and blue) to the size we stipulated 6 x 4 " & will bring along a selection of fabric bits.

Work either in a frame or without according to how you like to work.

Use threads in any colour including perle and stranded.

Please bring the following: Anne will bring supplies but would not have enough frames for everyone.

Perle and Stranded threads

Needles, pins, scissors etc

Rectangular frame or ring to fit the 6 x 4 postcard in

Calico or cotton fabrics for backing

piece of felt for backing if working without a frame.

Bits of red, yellow and blue based fabrics (including gingham, patterned, textured, pastel, bright etc)

Info about Moldova if you want to use it (try wikipedia)

If youwant to ty out some of the stitch techniques you could bring threads, needles, scissors and an embroidery ring.
Little beads and sequins may be useful

Anne will bring a selection of everything anyway in case some don't bring anything.
