Quiet day

Fibrecircle had a quiet day this week, with several members away. It was a bring-your-own-work day. The photographer was also not very efficient, so there's no record of show-and-tell this time.

Tricia was stitching on the work she began at Fibre Forum at Orange a few weeks ago. The class was with Jan Irvine-Nealie, whose work is heavily stitched, and this has really inspired Tricia. This is her class sample, with her own photograph as inspiration. It's a fantastic piece of work, and I'll try to get a photo from her when it's done, to show here.

Carol was making hyperbolic crochet for an art exhibition at her children's school. She likes to contribute something that either the children can do for themselves (last year, it was ATCs using many different techniques)or that stretches their minds (the concept of hyperbolic space should do that quite nicely!). I really love the spherical one.

Helen was embroidering as usual but I didn't take a photo of what she was doing (sorry, Helen!). Hopefully I can grab a photo next time.

Nola was painting with fabric paints, on a piece she's been working on intermittently for a couple of years. She has blogged about it here She now thinks the painting part is almost finished, and soon she'll be ready to add some stitch. She got quite excited when she saw Tricia's hand stitching, so perhaps this piece will have some hand quilting too?
