Pam showed us two bargello panels ready for quilting, and made good use of table space to almost finish free-motion machine quilting one of them during today's session.
This was Marie's last meeting until September as she goes back to Ireland at the end of the week, so she was busy finishing off her owl started in Rozanne's recent workshop

Margaret has now moved on to begin quilting her first ever quilt, and says she would never have got this far had it not been for Jan's help and advise.

Sheila, Michele and Sue were busy knitting and stitching
and it was good to catch up with Maureen also busy knitting. (sorry about the photo Maureen, I only took the one!) Chris is concentrating hard below, but I'm sorry Chris I didn't get back round to you, to see what you were working on!
Gwen brought in a few more pieces of work to be photographed for her new gallery page which will be available after next weekend's www.vinuelasewandsews.eu update. This week she brought in a very interesting quillow, (a lap quilt which is made in such a way that it fold up into a pouch and becomes a pillow for storage) and lovely handbag and a padded etui box.

Jenny has been working on a tree-skirt with a christmas theme, commissioned by her neice who had seen an idea on the internet, but thought that her aunt could make a much nicer one. Just goes to show flattery gets you everywhere!
Jenny used a combination of commercial embroidery designs together with her own digitised designs on each of the skirt panels, then filled in each panel with free-machine quilting.
Finally for this week, Michele showed us some of the postcards sent to her by members of an international group she belongs to, together with an album cover she has made in which to keep all these cards together.

Although these latest photos will not be added to Michele's gallery until the next expected web update in a week's time, more information about the Groups that Michele belongs to and what is involved in the postcard swaps, can be found over on her gallery page on our website at http://www.vinuelasewandsews.eu Follow the link "Meet the Group", find Michele, click on her name to go to her gallery page and you will find more information on the thumbnail titled "Aussie Connection"
That's it for this week, next time I'll be bringing you photos from Jenny's Double Wedding Ring workshop.
