Hot Hot Hot!

But we had a good turnout at group today.

We were making cushions for our Cushion Raffle at the Exhibition this coming September.

Jo had a very productive morning   which resulted in this little beauty
Such a cutie.
 Ann was quilting this lovely teddy panel
sweet
Eileen used a colourful Dresden  Plate for her donation

great backing for this one

 And Sue used some embroidery and Yo-Yo's to make her pretty contribution. I think the design from this came from one of the demonstrations a our local Shop Hop

buttons pins and sewing ladies on this one
Pauline had a bit of trouble with thier machine. Those button holes will be done at home!

trouble even with the handbook!
 Lynda also had trouble with her machine, so is off to flutter her eyelashes at Andy for our local sewing machine dealer Sew Northampton
 She is on very good terms with Andy, and has just treated herself to a shiny new model for her birthday.  Instead of sitting twiddling her thumbs she got on with some serious business
look at that cream


just one more!
 Those strawberries were lovely,
*****Happy Birthday and Thank you to Lynda!*****

 Meanwhile, the professionals in "that" corner got on with more items for our Exhibition sales table

embellished tote bags
 Ena has been making some Christmas Tree boxes.

 They look great with Ferreira Roche in them.

    everything looks so lovely ladies, I'm very impressed, it makes me want to get the sewing machine out right now, unfortunately I have a French lesson so it will have to wait, although I'd much rather be sewing! Keep all the lovely pics coming, love it xxx
