Team Textile and other stuff...

I have a few things to show you today.....

Georgia Mug Rug - made for Lesley to advertise in South Square Craft Shop......

The back...

cute cups and jugs with matching spots - bought the fabrics at a new shop near Northampton a while ago and can't remember what it was called or where it actually was!

Little old fashioned tea cups

fruit and veg

apples and cutlery - bought these fabrics in Atlanta

the back.....
At Embroiderers Guild, we were given a shape and asked to make a double sided decoration out of any media - so here is my crazy quilted star in white with beads

Close up of the machine Embroidery

More close ups

yet another view - we had to put our star in an envelope and write the colour on the outside and swap with another member - I have a green one to open, but will save it until nearer Christmas - watch this space.....
Team Textile - now consists of three quilters - two female and one male - these are our mini quilted bookmarks from Left to right - big S, H, mine and little S - first time little S has ever been and he did enjoy himself and worked very hard to get this far.

H did some quilted stars using her favourite machine stitch....

.... and she added some sparkle to the meadow!
Team Textile is a name I suggested to another group I belong to - but sadly no one liked my idea - so I have decided to call my little quilting group Team Textile - as they are all textile apprentices and it sounds such a topical title - If you don't live in UK and watch The Apprentice, then you probably won't appreciate the link!
