Six people were in attendance. Four brought work to show. The theme for November is Rocks.
The theme for October was "A Turn of a Phrase" which means an expression which is worded in a distinctive way, especially one which is particularly memorable or artful.

Mary couldn't decide which way was up!
Use What You Have.
There is roving, polyesters, silk and petals from an old flower applique that were found in her scraps bucket. She layered them onto a background of muslin and placed a white tulle over the surface.
Renee
Batiks that were raw edge stitched to the background. Craft Board was inserted to give the piece body.
Judy
The Apple of My Eye
Her apple was watercolor painted on a piece of light colored batik. It was then thread stitched. The apple was cut from that piece and appliqued with invisible thread to the current background.
Glen
The Lay of the Land
This was a landscape that was made by layering the various fabrics, turning under an edge and stitching them down.
