Crafty church

During April's Crafty Church at St Michael's (2-4pm, third Saturday of the month, all welcome, see tab above), we had lots of Show and Tell- mostly from Janet aka the Bionic Lady!

She's hiding behind this quilt that she made for her son

And she made these

And this

for a friend's Great Grandchild


Alex is starting to quilt this lovely applique basket, so was drawing on the quilting lines

While her mum, Ann, was knitting a Christmas teddy

And Lynne was making a sock monkey

Lesley and Jane were working too, but no photographic evidence!

Chertsey Museum

During April's class we made water lilies,

Jacqui led the class, and no, I cant remember all the materials we used (although the toys included a steamer, great fun) but I do have a project sheet if anyone is interested

Flowers were created

Then dampened and petals encouraged to lift.  The leaf was stitched then steamed to become more realistic

and wire was available for the stamen - isn't it realistic!

The ladies also shared a bit of show and tell, and showed their completed projects from last month's lesson

Hilarious Hats 2

And the creations from the afternoon session . . .

Hilarious Hats (1) at Chertsey Museum

Great classes with great kids at Chertsey museum today: Hilarious Hats and Fascinating Fascinators which roughly translates as a baseball hat and a hairband with a Fling Some Bling approach - with pipecleaners, beads, buttons, pompoms, wiggly eyes . . . The list goes on
