Wild Women Textile Arts Group

Our January meeting was full of enthusiasm and lots of ideas for the year ahead.  We have an extensive program of workshops and activities planned, starting with a Paint a postcard community workshop on 17 February.  But before that we have lots to show and tell ... Challenges in colour and texture A taste of the exotic Shibori magic and a new wee friend - Dave the Woodcutter

Hi Wild Women Well we're definitely into a new year now! Yesterday was our first meeting for the year. It was an opportunity for me to show the finished hoop that I had been stitching through the year in the #1yearofstitches challenge. Leona also displayed her wonderful piece. Photo to come :-) Here's my finished hoop which I've titled "The Magic Kingdom". The Magic Kingdom If you'd like to view the weekly progress, click here . The different scenes are captured here . Hope you enjoy :-)

Hi Wild Women Sharing a link to a thought-provoking series of videos by textileartist.org on experimenting with textiles. I've watched the first one "Embracing limitations" and while 30 mins in length, it resonated with me. You may enjoy: Experimenting with textiles I came across this video via Sara Lechner's blog The Fabric of Meditation . She has opened up a semi-challenge which appeals to me, on experimenting with stitches. I'll give it a go. :-) Keep calm and keep experimenting!!

What a fun year it was in 2017!  Take a sneak peak at some of the things the Wild Women got up to ...
