Long-Stitch Limp Bindings, Two Historical Models

On Saturday, November 15th, Geneviève Samson led an excellent workshop on long-stitch limp bindings. The workshop was more than sold out with 10 attendees and it looks like they made some great models!

Thanks to Wendy Feldberg for the photographs

All hearts for February

At our February meeting, Roxanne provided us with an excellent introduction to popups. Given the time of year, we focused on many ways to present popup hearts.

Welcome back to CBBAG for 2013/2014 Program Year

We started off the new program year with a great activity: origami! Thanks to Yuka and Lilian for showing us how to fold our way to beautiful paper creations. And just to demonstrate the lighter side of things, Gayle and Steve decided to model their creations.

2012/2013 Swap

For this year’s swap, there were 12 participants. At the December meeting, we were treated to part one of the swap: the signatures. The theme of the swap was “seasons” and we certainly saw a lot of creativity in the way in which the participants interpreted and represented that theme. Here are a few examples of their work.

October 27 we had six participants in the box making workshop. They each used handmade paper to create a lovely box, as you can see in the photo. (The seventh box is the instructor’s.)
