18th .

| Northern Ontario Fibre Artists |
As usual, we had a good showing of
projects, for our Show and Tell and we discussed a little business.
Here are some of our work in progress
and finished projects. The postcards are from kits that were exchanged during our summer retreat:
After
a yummy pot luck lunch, we viewed a slide show of the Burlington
Fibre Content Show and then headed back up for a fun round robin
workshop.
Marnie
had participated in a similar project with Kathy Wylie and friends
and she led us through the various steps.

| Just getting started |
We all started with the same size base
of fabric and batting supplied by Marnie. The idea was to add layers
in a limited time frame. We had 30 minutes to make our background
from cotton scraps.
We then picked names and everyone
worked on someone else's piece.
Our time limit was now 20 minutes per
round and we could choose from the different piles of either tulle/organza/sheers, ribbons/wools/lace or shiny/glitzy/textured fabrics.
As the piece progressed you could pick
from the ones not already on the piece.
Here is how Marnie's piece progressed:
 |
| Marnie and her background |
 |
| Jane added ribbons, lace and wool |
 |
| Marie added textured leaves |
 |
| And Terry added more leaves from the organza, tulle pile |
And this is how everyone else's piece looked at the start and finish.
This is what mine looks like completed!

Hope to see all the other finished
pieces at our next meeting.
Linking up to Nina-Marie's Off the Wall Friday.
Happy Quilting
Terry
