FEBRUARY 2013 MEETING

We began our February meeting a little early in order to view Anita Mayer's new video. She is such a joy to watch even in a video format. If you scroll back in the blog, you will be able to see photos of the exciting class we recently had with her.

This month we had many new members and visitors attending and, as always, some beautiful pieces were shown.

Roseline shared a beautiful piece she created while on a retreat with artist Juanita Yeager

Patricia  brought her wonderful silk piece featuring cypress knees which has been traveling to art shows around the country.

Betty won FOUR BLUE RIBBONS at the Charlotte Country Fair for her amazing knitted work!!

Julie's cuffs-how creative they are

More pictures to follow until next time.

Beaded Ball-Great Play Day

On February 9, a few Common Thread members got together for a great play day. Our own member and friend, Bonnie Johnson demonstrated her technique for creating her amazing beaded balls.

Bonnie supplied a variety of beads and most of the other equipment needed, but we also all added some of our own stash. As fiber artist we all seem to have large stashes of all kinds of bits and pieces of things.

Yes, it was very labor intensive, but also very fun. Can't wait to see the finished products!
