Plenty of Pin Cushions

Today was a bit of a free for all, (nothing to do with me not having done much planning). I took along some pin cushions I'd made or been given, and all the usual resources, and they set to making pin cushions

Turtles (instructions below)

Flowers

 

A bird (no photo, will grab one at show and tell next month)

Thumb pin cushions

 

And a fish with added needle case!

We also had our usual Show & Tell: two scarves which I didn't photograph, and a button necklace

Museum Making

September's Fun With Fabric at Chertsey Museum saw us making chicken pin cushions . . . Well that was the plan!

Some are certainly chickens

 Others became mice!

The ladies also brought some show and tell - completed projects from previous sessions

We all had fun, especially as the lovely Museum ladies had made me a birthday cake!!!

Museum Making - Somerset Stars and Dorset Buttons

The ladies at Chertsey Museum brought along their Show and Tell based on last month's Somerset Stars

And then, (sticking with the West Country)  we went on to learn Dorset Buttons from a 'Guest Tutor' the lovely Jacqui who was persuaded to come and show us.  Pascale came too, and brought us some fab examples
