Parting of the ways :(

Joan and her crew

It was a bit sad today. Joan Bates (Centre Back- photo position not five a side football!) is leaving us to move to Hampshire to be closer to her grandchildren. I am sure that she is looking forward to being a more involved Granny!
We shall be sorry to see her go, but she has promised to keep in touch, and I hope that she will join a local group. I know she has enjoyed her time with us and I hope that we have been able to help her in her patchworking endeavors!

lots of sewing

Work was still being produced, Pauline busy busy busy - looks bright and cheerful.

Bright and cheery of pencil cases

She is making these lovely pencil cases for a friend a BSK who travels to (somewhere between Russia and Mongolia!!!) to support a local orphanage.  What a lovely idea!

Fran is busy completing her beautiful needle turned applique blocks. I think this may be the last one.

 Sheila was sewing tiny beads (can you see the tweezers!) onto her seascape, very pretty

And Jan was stitching a design of her own - this looked a bit like a Knot Garden

Angela was piecing scrappy squares, I hope she managed to keep them in order

 

Joan finished the day with a chocolate bar for everyone!! 

Good Luck Joan

Happy Stitching!
