Christmas Tree Medley Wall Hanging


Irene finished this ChristmasTree Wall Hanging.
It uses a selection of techniques like a Sampler Quilt.
Due to some measurement changes
 Irene added in some additional borders
The original pattern was designed by 'The Stitch Witch'
Visit her website HERE
She is normally at all the Patchwork and Quilting Shows.

Reindeer Herd



The reindeers are multiplying and making a herd.
I made these for the Coven Girls presents this year.
See the presents I made last year for the girls

Reindeer



Reindeer are being made in all different sorts of
livery.

Snowmen Decs


Carole has been making lots of Christmas gifts for 
a stall raising money for her local church.
These Snowmen just made me smile.
As you can see they are made out of felt and all
hand stitched.

Origami Christmas Tree



Sylvia showed us the Christmas Tree is working on.
The squares are made out of 2" squares that have been 
folded and then pinned onto a cone.
It can be decorated and embellished.

Reindeer Making



Ros made her reindeer and I fell in love with the pattern
so made mine (above top).
I adapted the pattern.
Thank you Ros for the Reindeer inspiration.
Ros got the original pattern from sewmamasew.com

More Origami Christmas Bags



Muriel also made these origami Christmas Bags.

Mountain Saw Christmas Runner


I enjoy teaching different quilt blocks and this one has 
multi piecing and then cutting involved so it is an
effective one.
As you can see it makes an idea Christmas Runner.
This one has been made by Muriel.

Stamped Christmas Baubles




This year carrying on the theme of using music sheets.
We stamped printed six of the pattern and then glued these
together to form the 3D ornament. 
A silver thread glued down the middle with
a glass beaded charm hanging from the base.
Lots of glitter glue added to not only add sparkle
but to strengthen the paper.
These were very popular and fun to make
I can honestly say hundreds made this year.


Book Folded Christmas Tree


Last year I folded magazines into Christmas Trees as
part of the Paper Decorations in The Old Art Room studio.
Gill has made the Christmas Trees this year
by folding the pages in a book.
Covering the book cover and  adding decoration
made them really wow. 
Gill is raffling them for MacMillian Nurses. 
Well done Gill.

Christmas Folded Book Baubles


These Book Baubles are made from paperback books.
I have removed the covers. 
They are declining in size to add to the effect and a 
glass christmas ornament added to the bottom.
We will be making more origami book folded
sculptures in the new year.

Machine Embroidered Poinsettia



Ros used a Poinsettia Design that she used in her printing
to make the outline for this decoration.
Drawn on the dissolvable plastic and then 
machined embroidered.
Sequins added for berries.
Added to a thread means it can be hung from a window.
