The Running Stitchers

This is one of the books produced at the workshop with Frances Pickering last week.  Valleri (who created this lovely cover) had been to Canada and collected lots of bits and pieces to remind her of her trip.  There are things like strips of newspaper incorporated into the cover and the two little hearts represent her and her husband.
Anna, a member of our newly renamed Venture Group surprised us all with her interpretation of the One Stitch Challenge we were set recently.  She made this little book with pockets and it holds samples of Blanket Stitch.  It was a delight and a lovely way to store the pieces of work.


Anna also provided us with an entertaining morning this month as she had brought along lots of items she has collected over the years which she has purchased through various sources including charity shops and flea markets.

The little picture above was made of felt pieced and stitched.

The Scottie Dogs were appliqued on a felt skirt, which it was assumed could have been a skating skirt.  The lead went into the skirt pocket.
