What a busy day we all had. In the morning we had a mini workshop using transfoils. Many of the members had never used them before and as they are difficult to buy anywhere locally, we ordered lots of different ones from Art Van Go and we all had a go at the piece of work done by Jean Littlejohn in the Feb/Mar issue of Stitches. It took about 2 hours to get to a point where people had either finished or knew what they needed to do to finish a small panel. The results are below and they really did look good. I hope to see them all finished off into book covers or something similar next month.
In the afternoon we had a wonderful talk by Katie Chaplin on the Traditional Costume of Japan. She brought along her daughter to model for us and we were shown how a Japanese lady would be dressed in a full ceremonial kimono. It really was interesting and as she also brought along some Japanese fabrics and kits for us to buy, we all ended up having a really enjoyable afternoon.
