Margaret also hosted a silk painting workshop, where members were asked to create a picture, and dye a beautiful scarf.

Two members brought back their finished pennants - we're really looking forward to seeing them all joined together and strung up at our Christmas party this year:

One member brought these two beautiful embroideries, worked in lovely bright colours using mostly buttonhole stitch. The effect is stunning:

If you've been working on a project over the past month please bring it along to next month's session - we'd love to see it!

(If I've not attributed/misattributed your project, please leave me a comment with the details and I'll fix it)
