Harrogate Knitting & Stitching Show

WOW!!!!! Well we all had a fantastic time yesterday at the knitting & stitch show, there were loads of beautiful things there and I cant wait to share them with you,

There were lots of quilting stalls, and the lovely lady at Puddle Ducks let me take a picture of her fantastic stall, and if  you see anything you like on this photo or would like any more information about any of the quilts, you can visit them at www.puddleducksquilts.co.uk

There was a fantastic bear which another lovely lady had knitted!!! WOW!  

 

 

There was a section where you could go and have a sit down and do a bit of knitting!

 

 

There was another lady demonstrating how to use a knitting machine!!

 

 

There was another brilliant lady, Clare Bullock, who was demonstrating wet felting, and I couldn't resist this beautiful brooch she had made!! :)

There was also a gallery section, where people were showing off there wonderful creations

 

 

This is a wall hanging made from wet felt in the Black Sheep Felt section,

she was also showing,

 

Needle felting where someone had created a skull of her teddy!

 

 

and the best bit about this exhibitor, she had a section where you could touch and feel all the

 different felt work and explore all the different textures!!

Another fantastic exhibition was The British Tapestry Group, which had lots of fantastic pieces
 and a chance for you to have a little try at tapestry to!

 

 

 there was a fantastic tapestry in this section that was representing the sea

 

 

Another super gallery was shared by Ann Small who was showing

textile & mixed media art, who had created this outstanding owl,

 

 

and also these curios little boxes

 

 

and Sue Walton who works with felt, she had created these fantastic

spoon fairies,

 

 

 and these superb felt trees

 

 

these had little windows in the top section with bits in :)

Another beautiful exhibition was done by Jo Beattie, its hard to describe these

creations so it a good job I took some pics

 

these were done on fabric,

 

 

they were hung away from the wall with a light shining through them,

they created brilliant shadows on the wall!

 

 

this piece was over a meter wide but i wanted a close up of the

stunning details :)

Someone else who was demonstrating, was this brilliant man,

who was weaving, using his feet!!!!

 

Another man was showing us how to do marbling, this was fantastic also,

 

we had a chance to have a go, then could keep the finished result! Fab!

We were that excited about the marbling, that Wendy brought us a kit so I can

see a marbling workshop/ play day coming soon!!

 

I think I saved my favourite till last, this lovely lady, Tania Sneesby
