Progress being made on the charity quilt blocks......

Yvonne here again.    Let’s start this week off with congratulations to Linda who is now a proud grandma to a baby girl.   And secondly an apology to Margaret with her wool and Christine with her dog quilt, the photos were too blurry to publish!

This week the Diversity group had an informal meeting in a corner of the hall.  Gwen has made various stamps and tried them out on paper and fabric.  

                            

 Jenny is helping her with more ideas for the current   Diversity challenge "The Journey".

One of Jill’s designs on paper.


Anne’s row-by-row finally taking shape, above and below are two of the panels


Tricia looking at the print she has chosen for the border of her oriental hanging.

Penny is back in town and is showing us a colourful table centre.

Gladys and Margaret with a very large ball of yarn!

An overview of part of the room.  Margaret, Shirley and Sandy at the front.


Another new lady joined today, welcome to Marilyn.  She brought along her bobbin lace to show us, ¨Oh what tangled webs we weave¨ comes to my mind!!   Wow so many bobbins.

Jill’s row-by-row is now quilted and ready for the binding.

Helen H. was working on this delightful cross stitch piece.


I finished this hanging above, inspired by Linda Kemshall of Design Matters T.V.  it's hand dyed fabric, free embroidery and mounted on a painted canvas.





Lastly the charity quilt butterfly blocks are getting finished.   Three more quilted and two with the embroidery finished, now waiting to be quilted.

That’s all for now folks, happy stitching, see you next time.   Yvonne
