Happy Birthday Kath............

Lets start this week off by saying Happy Birthday to Kath and thank you for the cake.  We had a visit from Lola this morning, she works in the town hall and was very impressed with our work on the raffle quilt, she will be buying tickets come Oct.  Here she is chatting to Jenny and Gwen, both back from trips this week.

Cath is making a cushion for her grandson, who seems to have ended up with a black eye after a recent game of footie.

Here we have 2 mug rugs for friends of Pam, aren´t they great fun?

Helen

Lovely to see Helen back, she is doing the Ineke Berlyn Journal Quilt course and this is January's underway.

Rozanne left with Elsje and Catherine

Rozanne seen here learning how to make crocheted balls, she thinks they will make great Christmas tree ornaments with a little tweeking.

Margaret was trying out a bag pattern to the size of Ryanair's new cabin allowance.

Eloise (right), and Vanessa

Eloise is back after being unwell for several months and was putting a lining into some curtains.

Vanessa is going great guns on a quilt for her new baby grandson.

Gladys is still plowing on with crochet squares for the exhibit.

Helen popped in and helped out with some embroidery on one of the butterfly blocks she designed.

Rozanne brought along some bunting she made from left over fabric from a quilt, it is all buttonhole stitched by hand and has her grand-daughter's name appliqued onto it.

Merlynne has been busy embroidering tops for small ceramic boxes, she plans to give them away as gifts.

Linda is still awaiting the arrival of a grandchild, so decided to recyle some wool into a fetching jacket that she modeled for the camera!

Jacqueline is embroidering another panel to go with one she completed some time ago,

and I, Yvonne, have finished a small wall hanging with sashiko stitching.   Finally a big thank you to all the ladies that worked on the butterfly blocks. Sorry, no pictures this week they were all whisked away for more work to be done on them.   All in all a good meeting with 26 ladies in attendance.

Happy stitching, until next time.   Yvonne
