Rachel sent in the following write up on the Gathering and lots of photos - I have managed to load quite a few - see below:
'We had a lovely day. As people arrived the hall came alive with the gentle buzz of people greeting and meeting one another. We were delighted to welcome Lin and Sue, two new members of our group. Naturally, at the beginning of each meeting we show our latest projects, the excitement this brings is contagious. Lin was wearing a warm jacket that she had felted and it was so useful to exchange experiences and develop ideas. We all admired her felted flowers and her bag with fluted design and pockets on the reverse

With everyone enthused, we focused on our various projects. Lisa soon had a dye-bath gently simmering and settled to painting a fantastic birthday card for her husband. Wendy and Denise began their felted pots by inflating a balloon, which just leant itself to a photo shoot! Jacqui joined us later and made a beautiful pot. I have to admire each one of these organic vessels, for the process is not as easy as it first appears.
It was good to have Lin, whose advice and information was invaluable to us all at times throughout the day. Sue is relatively new to the craft but was soon making a bag, a flower and a gorgeous piece of cloth with Lin’s guidance.
Lunch turned out to be delicious, despite it being ‘pot luck’, with everyone bringing something. Thank you everyone.
What did I do? Oh, just spent all day in a huge happy haze playing with colour. Thank you everyone for the joy these occasions bring. Rachel
