Shuttlebug December Meeting.

Last Wednesday was the December meeting of the Shuttlebugs, my spinning and weaving guild.

We had a lot of wonderful items for 'Show and Share'.

Leslie modeled her sweater created from knitted squares.

This was her Saori 'squid' - a long piece of weaving wrapped, folded and stitched.

Jacki brought in the Christmas card her dog sitter created using portraits of Jacki's dog, Jimmy.

Doesn't he look handsome, and so proud of himself?

Annie brought in a scarf she wove years ago with the Markham guild

and a needle-felted picture she created in a workshop with Rosemary Oliver.

She also showed off a couple of beaded hand-knit scarves.

Christine had a Santa head she made at a workshop with Saira Jan. Three workshops are scheduled in the new year with Saira.

Judy had a couple of needle-felted figures.

I took in some of my recently finished ornaments

and one of my punch needle pieces. I've offered to do a beginning punch needle class if there is any interest.

Gini spun then dip-dyed a 900yd skein of rambouillet/corriedale yarn for her sister's Christmas present.

Dini brought in a vintage, beaded purse that had belonged to her husband, Barry's, grandmother.

She also showed us one of her tea towels.

 As so many Shuttlebugs were unable to make the meeting, the pot luck luncheon will be held at January's meeting.
