Kath has finished off a quilt using fabric remnants from previous projects, and is giving it to her friend's daughter.
Carol brought in her quillow to show us, seen above as a quilt and below all folded up into a cushion,
also Carol showed us a bright quilt she made several years ago using Ikea cotton fabrics. This photo doesn't do justice to those lovely bright colours. Sorry Carol!
I spotted this little Christmas wall hanging of Cath's on the table too, Ann is borrowing it to make a pattern so she can adapt it to her own needs.
Ann says she is having a break from making larger quilts for a while, and is making use of her stash of fabric remnants to make several small projects.
Above Carol is working on a quilt for a friends first grandchild. It's a Sun Bonnet Sue design and here Carol is battling with the embroidery stitches on her machine, which was making hard work of embellishing the applique for her!
Above, Sheila continues with her charity knits, while Louise works on her latest quilting project. I am told it is lovely, but confess I didn't see it in detail so hope to show you next week if Louise brings it to work on again.
It looks to me as though Helen must be getting near to the end of this embroidery now, though there is so much fine detail in it.
Margaret is making Christmas stockings after finding a bag full of felt at home, and Jan and Kath spent the session hemming the sashing on the centre panels of the Group Raffle Quilt.
Below is a peak at the centre panel of the quilt, and by next week the outer panels should be attached
Jacqueline continues with her bobbin lace, while Marilyn embroiders flowers on quilt blocks,
and Helen above, with Merlyne and Carol below, work on small cross stitch projects
Linda below, popped in after choir practice to chat to Jan about threading her overlocker machine
Before closing this week, I must give a warm welcome to our latest new members, Millie seen lower left in the photo above, and Simone on the right in the photo below. Millie enjoys knitting, while Simone, after walking around the room and seeing all the exciting projects being worked on, particularly Elle's applique quilt blocks, decided she would like to learn how to applique and asked where she could find materials and patterns. Needless to say, there was no shortage of advice for her and next week I think we may see her again with lots of supplies eager to start work! Also welcome back to Chris, seen in the centre of the photo below, after a long absence while she was in the UK.
Elle's applique project which inspired Simone
I'm not sure why, but all except Ann, forgot it was the first meeting of the month and it should have been Sales Tuesday this week. I got the blame for not reminding everyone on here! It was decided to have Sales Tuesday next week instead, so I'm reminding everyone now to bring in fabrics, yarns etc. I'm told Pam will have fabrics for sale so if you are looking for anything, bring in your purses!
Don't forget too, to head over to the Group Website and see the latest updates in Members' galleries. Have a good week, thanks for stopping by. Rachel
