I missed our March meeting; it was a close-run thing between Marilyn's workshop, always good fun, and very exciting, and the Fashion, Embroidery and Stitch Show in Birmingham!
 
  Lyn has forwarded photos; here are some of them.
The idea was to make the felt.................


 
 


.....and mould it over a solid shape, such as a bottle, or plant-pot..........
