A Bit of a Delay!

As this is actually Wednesday's post!! (I've had a busy week!!)

Wednesday's meeting was quite a productive one with Carol coming first in the "finishes " race.

 I showed a peek of this here and I think that you will agree that this really is a TA Dah!!! moment

 The quilt is a block of the month pattern that was published in Patchwork & Quilting magazine last year. It was made "quilt as you go" and Carole certainly has put a lot of quilting and detail in this piece. Lovely!

Incy Wincy

 AND ...

reminds me of coffee with a frothy top?

 She has also finished a Spicy Spiral Table Runner - this is a gift for a friend - Lucky Lady.  It really is quite effective. I hear that she is making another as a gift, so look forward to seeing that too.

 Meanwhile ... Ann was working on a very pretty piece of embroidery

a touch of Japanese

 Gillian is constructing a box. Looks like this is a sewn one despite the bumper glue pack!

very precisely pieced

 I think this is another Ann who had made a rather lovley block into a tote bag.

Just need the handles

 A pretty blue Dresden Plate block is being made amongst the bevvy of cups, and maybe another lavender heart? These really are popular.

Lynda and Lesley spent most of the evening sorting out the carnage that was left in the Linus box after Mondays epic sewing day. Looked lovely and tidy when they were finished :))

 If I had managed to get the post done when I should have, I would not have been able to tell you about the day at Nene Quilters with non other than Kaffe Fassett

His talk was excellent and humorous, ably assisted by Brandon Mably, with a slide show of his work, which included painting, knitting, tapestry and quilting and he also showed a selection of his work, both quilted and knitted.

 

 At the end of his talk there was a Q&A session where some very intelligent questions were asked (his words not mine).  He then did a book signing session.

 (Thank you to Carol for her report on the event)

Cotton Patch from Birmingham were the traders and were demonstrating some of their gadgets, so lots of chances to spend some pennies!

So quite a busy week all in all.
