One of the extra opportunities for members of ACTT One of the extra opportunities for members of ACTTAA is our weekend workshops. Sometimes information and knowledge shared by a member and sometimes a guest teacher who shares her knowledge with us. While technically this is not a textile, this idea of twisting bamboo and attaching textiles opens a whole world of possibilities! Pretty exciting results. #caneweaving #caneweave #caneweavetechniques #masterclass
Does everyone have old old tin or cigar box they h Does everyone have old old tin or cigar box they have used ‘forever’ to store their bits and bobs. ( incidentally this term is unknown in America!) Just captured a small workspace at our meeting this week. Love the colour shapes and possibilities. Plus a lovely little gift for shoppers at our annual Bazaar during our exhibition. Can’t wait to see you all there. #gifts#feltbird#bitsandbobs#felttoys#feltcraft #feltvessel #feltlove #feltbird
A newish member to ACTTAA, showed us a really amaz A newish member to ACTTAA, showed us a really amazing jumper. A farmer of sheep this member used the wool off the sheep back, washed it. Spun it , dyed it , designed a a pattern and then knitted it. It won a first ribbon , which is exactly what it should have won! Some people worry they are shouldn’t join a group , because they worry there work might not be good enough. But this group is amours for admiring all efforts, a sense of community and sharing each other’s works and passions. This meeting also includes ask a question a sun get an answer. One member bought in a very treasured ring made my a now lost relative. It needed repair and so many ideas flowed for repair and regeneration of an import family treasure. Come along and share the joys of sharing! #knitting #knittersgonnaknit #knitknitknit #spinning #dyingyarn #naturaldyes #creative #creativeknitting

Made for textiles and embellished for fun. #remember #lookdonttouch #textilemeeting#textile#fibreart

It was a relaxing slow stitching exercise. Thank you, Margie, for a very informative and pleasing day. #quilt#quiltimprovstudio #quiltnswmembers
