Cushion 1 workshop

Last year, the ladies came up with a list of techniques they wanted to either learn or refresh. These were taken and grouped, and then  formed the basis of the three cushions workshops planned for this year.  On Saturday, we held the first of these workshops.


This first workshop covered English Paper Piecing (EPP), making your own bias piping and pillow case backs. Whilst no-one completed their project during the day, good progress was made (EPP is stitched by hand so it takes longer) as can be seen in the photo.

This month's Wednesday meeting is planned as a show-and-tell. Hopefully, we'll see some of the finished cushions, plus lots of other 'makes' as several of the ladiess have been to workshops elsewhere since last month.

We're also looking forward to welcoming three new members on Wednesday.
