May Meeting Marge Quinn 'Tassels'















Our May workshop was 'Making Tassels' with Marge Quinn. Marge brought along lots of examples of her work to show us.














She took us through the finer points of tassel-making ...















... and had a rapt audience ...














who soon got down to work ...














... creating intricate twists and turns.














The Young Embroiderers were absorbed in their work ...















... as were the 'not quite so young'?














There were always the goodies on the Fair Trade stall to keep us going if we needed sustenance.




















The girls in the back room were hard at work, as always ...



















... with a wide range of textile arts.














Here are some of the finished pieces brought to the next meeting.
