Bumper week

Oh my goodness, sure sign we have had bad weather, loads of finished blocks, quilts and Sun bonnet Sue doorstops.  That's what we like to see......


I know that we have had a break because of the jubilee weekend, but everyone seemed to have been working hard, and had something to show and tell.

Jo's EQ6 pattern, 



Lynda's block, the design came from a magazine an online friend sent her, great block


Now for the quilts.......

Birdie Stitches quilt finished.  


This block serves as the label.

You may remember this Angie finished first,  3 of us started after seeing this cute block and the complete tutorial is found here .  We are now waiting for Lynda to complete hers, but she has a problem in that she needs 2 x 21/2" strips of the green fabric from the 'Sunkissed' range, if anyone has any of this fabric that you no longer need, can you leave a comment, and I am sure Lynda would come to some arrangement with you.

Lynda also worked with us on a hand stitched sampler quilt a year or so back.  A lot of the ladies that joined in with this had never made a quilt before, and this was made by one of those ladies..

Barbara you did a great job with this, well done.

Nanny Lynda has been busy again,  yes another quilt for another grandchild....


Cute label 

even cuter quilt.
This will soon be winging its way to Scotland.

And last but not least in the quilt 'show and tell'.  This one is made by Carol.

Beautiful 

Can you see this is all hand quilted,

Plenty of hours spent on this masterpiece

Ann, Murial and Pat have been working on their Sun bonnet Sue's, (personally think they should be sou'wester Sues with the weather we have been having lately).

Three little maids......

I think a loud round of applause for all of the hard work going on around here.

Next week we have our all day session.  It is planned to make sewing machine covers, but for those of you that don't want a new cover, how about making a sewing machine mat with pockets a bit like this.
