All things crafty

I have had the most fantastic weekend! Friday saw the started of the Somerset Arts Week and along with other regular spinners at the Spinning Weal I have been helping out at their exhibition. What an opportunity to sit and spin and talk to people about spinning - OK I am a bit obsessive, but I love what I do.














The venue is pretty special also. It's in the Oak Room at the Curzon Cinema in Clevedon which is one of the oldest (if not the oldest still working cinema in the country) and is amazing.

So are the exhibits - which are done by the students, teachers and staff of the Spinning Weal.....

I have been particularly interested in the quilts because I have signed up for the 'Improver's Quilting Class' which begins in September -can't wait...

I decided that although I have mastered the basics it would be a sensible idea to get some expert to teach some of the more intricate techniques, especially as the fabric isn't cheap - won't tell Mr S how much I have spent on the fabric for my big project..................





















This is one of my favourites possibly because the more you look the more you see! And here is my Christchurch Shawl in a prominent position......
