December 2018 - String art Christmas cards and Annual challenge quilts

This month was the Christmas nibbles and Challenge exhibition, we also had a go at String Art Christmas card designs.We had two designs to chose from a Christmas tree (two sizes) or a bauble. Everyone  seemed to enjoy the process, some finishing one and starting another. Lots of opportunity to use sparkly thread and embellishments lead to some lovely results. If you Google 'String art Christmas designs' you can see many more examples on Pinterest, with free patterns if you want to have a go.
