Novembers Mini Workship was a cute little piece of hardanger which could be fashioned into a sissor keep.
The pattern called for 22 count hardanger (oslo), number 5 or 8 pearl cotton and number 22 or 24 tapestry neadles. With their gridded fabric in hand the attendees were quickly stiching away.
I am hoping to see the finished product at next months Brisbane meeting.
Many thanks to our tutor for the day, Liz

Octobers’s mini workshop was a small flower in Idrija bobbin lace.
Alice Skenner who had recently attended the OIDFA congress in Europe was our tutor for the day.
The class required the usually bobbin lace equipment (sizzors, pins, small pillow) plus 8 pairs of bobbins suitable for Sew ins, a small crochet hook and size 40 cotton.
Our challenge was to complete only the very centre of the flower pattern and it seemed simple enough but there were a few interesting techniques to be learnt.
Below are a few pictures as we get started. The featured image is Alice’s beautiful completed flower centre.
