It's been a while since I've written about the TAFA in Caloundra.......at the moment we are doing some challenges......we are having a monthly and bi-annual challenge.......the monthly challenge for August is WORDS.......everyone who was at the meeting had to write one word on a piece of paper and they were all folded in put into a bucket...then passed around and we had to pick one out...hopefully not your own......so my words for August is "obsession".......OK what am I going to do for this.......well I thought about it and decided to narrow it down to an obsession with textiles....that makes sense....friends were saying I could make something about chocolate....sex....drugs......as these are things that people have obsessions about.......noooo...... textiles sound more interesting to work with....so my obsession at the moment is circles.....when I am machine quilting and have to fill in backgrounds I just love doing pebbles or pearls as some people call them....I think of them as circles.......so this is where I am going to start with my challenge.....my obsession with circles using applique.....stamping.....freemotion quilting.......so I don't have very long to make my piece......as it is due on the 20 Aug and at the moment the painters have the Studio wrapped up and have started painting......by the time they finish I will be able to hobble down to catch up with my projects.......
The TAFA group had a felting class with Jo and they made hats.......here are a couple of photo of their finished pieces.......
The other photos are of Liz who makes beautiful clothing.......
from hand dyed the silk fabric and has hand stitches the whole piece.......I think it looks great......but Liz is a little unsure about wearing it herself.......
Happy Stitching - - - - -
