The March meeting was a sewing evening. Kate Smith introduced us to Inlaid Patchwork.
The work is done using either felt or wool material and was popular during the Victorian era. I have seen several quilts on display at the Bankfield Museum in Halifax, sewn by military gentlemen who used the woollen material that their uniforms were made from,
so I was intrigued to see how it is done.
We produced very simple designs as we only had a couple of hours for the project but I would be interested to try something more intricate in the future.
Below is a sample of the technique being worked and there are more pictures in the meeting review section.
