Wonderful things

Wonderful things growing all over our vine...


A collaborative drawing exercise, to give us some inspiration for our stitching yesterday. Here are some details:






I think we all had fun!

And then onto the stitch, with added colour - paint and/or fabric scraps:


Di's birds, with fabric and stitch


Sheila's leaf sprig, with acrylic paint


Linda's birds (she almost scrapped this at one point - glad she didn't!) with fabric scraps, and watercolour pencils


Jan's flowers, painted with watercolour pencils


Kathy's leaves, with acrylic paint


Sue's bird and leaves - with paint and fabric. Sue had a hard time wrestling with a hoop she didn't like, but I think she did very well with only her second attempt ever at free machining!


And last but not at all least, Carole's bird and leaves...and caterpillar.  Beautiful!

I'm very proud of them all!
