 What a day we had!!  Even Jo decided to work today.

Head down getting ready 

Yep, she's working!!

So now Jo's out of the way,  Lynda and Maureen could get on with showing the ladies how to make some interesting door stops.  Lynda's group were making Sunbonnet Sue and Maureen's ladies were making a designer handbag......  I have to tell you while the work was going on, we almost changed the name of Ena's corner from 'Cock up corner' to 'Blue corner'  I will leave you and your imagination to work out why.

Believe me this is the head

Heads down...now begin

Is this little 'Norma Nomates'??? 

Heads at the ready

Betty operating, Pauline assisting 

Heads on

Heads and arms (will we get knees and toes)

Pauline with teacher watching (where is Toni)

Voila!  9 Sunbonnet Sue, and 3 great bags
Didn't they do well????  

A few weeks ago Mrs Beal was working on a lovely little lap rug...well, that's what I thought it was, but this is the lucky recipient .....


Dudley's very own quilt.
Yes, Dudley is the dog (and he doesn't have a lap).  I believe Ann now has orders for two quilts for grandchildren's cats........ she certainly has too much time on her hands....... It is a beautiful quilt Ann, lucky Dudley.

Too True
Ann's daughter sent most of these fabrics from America for quilts, and  this wall hanging is made from some of the left over fabric scraps. 


Do you remember back in February we made quilts for Linus??? Here

Today Joan Mason came to collect all 82 small quilts and 8 large quilts.  These quilts not only go to the neo-natal units in Kettering and Northampton, they also go to the children's wards.  Joan also told us they go to bereaved children, fosterlings, children who are in family refuge, and some are sent to individual children when a request has been made.

Off to find new homes.


Yes- lots got done today along with lots of laughter, roll on next Monday.
