Flower rug for Kay

One of our oldest members of Thames Creative Fibre, who is now unable to craft,
asked the group to decorate a white felted rug. We all made knitted, crocheted or felted flowers then a few members took on the task of designing the rug and stitching on all the flowers. The result is stunning.

Creative Fibres Hamilton Exhibition

A feature of the exhibition this year was pop up fashion. From time to time models walked through the exhibition wearing hand crafted garments Here are three of our Thames members looking very beautiful. From left, Sheryll wearing a suit and fascinator made by Raewyn Penrose, Joanne wearing a dress and fascinator also crafted by Raewyn and Cassandra wearing a dress and hat made by Sheryll Wenzlick.

Thames Creative Fibres members had a number of pieces accepted for exhibition.

Above is one of Donna Hansby's delightful birds.

I was thrilled my jacket was accepted as I'd never entered anything spun or knitted previously.

 I particularly admired this carpet bag made by felting prefelts onto black felt

and this colourful handspun knitted vest and hat.
