WS&D National Exhibition

These are just a few of the things that I really liked at the exhibition of our WS&D,s National Association held at the Weald and Downland Open Air Museum on Saturday.Of course I thought I would remember whats what or find it in the catalog. Some I can and some I can't. The blanket or afghan as it is called is knitted in hand spun wool ans silk with natral dyes.


The panels of this skirt are shibori dyed and I love it. Will try to have a go at one myself  I dye silk scarves in the same way how lovely to have a skirt.



Both of these wall hangings show the range of things that can be made with in our crafts.


These panels where made from a blanket cut up and dyed with natural dyes. Names and pictures of the dye stuff used have been machine embroidered in each square.
