Six of us met at the Gathering on Thursday 25th, which began around 4.30 pm. Jacqui and Wendy made seamless felt bags, Lin started on a large many-layered, multi-coloured piece of felt (now complete and really quite amazing), Sue completed a delightful knitted tea cosy from a genuine vintage pattern, Alison worked on embellishing her felt slippers (made in a recent workshop with Cathy at Sticky Paws http://www.stickypawsfelting.co.uk/ ) and I fiddled about; experimenting with making a bowl with a circular resist (instead of over a balloon) and with a finishing layer of a hand-dyed silk ‘cap’.
We all got very peckish around 7 o’clock and generous members produced home-made soups, warm focaccia bread and grain salads which everyone enjoyed immensely. We wondered whether to change our group name to Food ‘n’ Felting and we certainly felt better (and felted better) after such a delicious supper.
We finally cleared the hall and left well after 9 pm; tired but satisfied.
