A textile panel.

Once a month I go to see my friend Burnice in her Craft Cabin and Linda comes along too. Generally we just chat but just occasionally we do "stuff"! Linda has just been to a class where they made these textile panels and she thought we might like a go too. She brought along tons of really sparkly fabrics, lamee, dance fabric, silks and satins etc. We chopped little pieces off and then laid them on a base. Next we added threads, fibres, ribbons and sequins and trapped everything under black netting by stitching up and down with a machine.
This is my one. Next month we are going to make them into finished panels with embroidered borders etc. I have decided I am going to make a set of 4 and join them together to make a wall hanging. This one is Autumn I think and I shall use different colour combinations to represent the other seasons.

Of course home I went all proud and showed Jess (my daughter doing textiles) and she just said "yeah, we did that at school aaaaages ago, you should have done......". Supportive huh!
