Happy Birthday Shirley........

This week we had 22 ladies in attendance but the group went home fairly early, I think it was just a bit too chilly in the hall.


 Kath  (above left) was getting some advice from Rozanne on a lovely quilt top that she started last year and is now determined to get finished.


Jill was showing off because she has made a start on her Christmas gifts already! 2 table runners underway. She also brought in a bag ( below) that she and a couple of others are making.


Cath was working on a bed runner (below) that she is updating with some embroidery to give it a lift.


Louise was seeking some help on the colours she has chosen for for this quilt top (below).


It was quite a change to see Gladys (below right) at the sewing machine this week, she is usually in the 
" knitter's corner ".  She was getting some help from Pam with a Dresden Plate design.


Pam also showed us a Rail Fence with a twist that she has just finished after putting it on one side since last year.  All the free-motion quilting was done on the small machine she brings along to the group.


After a long absence it was lovely to see Gill again, unable to come on a regular basis at the moment, we look forward to when she can make it back.


Cath & Sheila moved into the sunshine for a while to get warm.


Linda has been working hard and finished a floor quilt for her grandbaby (who isn't with us yet). It is totally reversible with jungle animals on the front and Noah's Ark on the back.   Just a couple of weeks work!

Christine is making a couple of large bed cushions in pink (below)


 Carol has just started embroidering a pre-printed table cloth that is really cute with geese & flowers.



And last but not least Happy Birthday to Shirley (centre) who brought in cake for everyone. 
 Bye for now, Yvonne
