General Catch up

 Last Wednesday saw some varied types of projects

 Susan is working a an embroidery sampler

folksy images

 Jackie has pieced yet another quilt top, using printed squares and co-ordinating fabrics

effective design

 One of our newer ladies has completed a needllecase

 And another a baby quilt

set on point

 Carol has started some EPP

Tumbling Blocks

 Lynda had started a Candlewick Embroidery item

 Which by Monday had been turned into this lovely cushion, made for a very good friend, who has a bit of a thing for Dragonflies

 And then the All day project began. Ena, Ellen and Shirley had sorted out three items that could be made. Ellen and Kay's good men had cut out (tens) of card kits of this sweet little "handbag" needle case

 It involved quite a bit of gluing and pegging

starting off

And then sewing the pieces together

nice stripe fabric

 Add a bead and a button

 Some elastic and a hair bobble or two

 Inside and out

 And we had lots of these little beauties ready for use

I think some of the ladies thought they would get all three projects done, but sometimes those little things take so much more time!

Most of the ladies tried the Handbag, but a few did a cute little fabric box starting with an equilateral triangle 

 This would look lovely with some mini eggs in this weekend

like a little nest

  And a few made this little scissor pouch, and I have it on good authority that several will be made for future sales tables

I like this

 Meanwhile, the rest of the room carried on with other pieces.

Angie is making a Poppy wall hanging

 Sue made this fabulous bag whilst on holiday in Arizona. She managed to find a sewing group whilst she was away!

 And Pam ........ well Pam.... there are so many things that I could/would/should say about this, but I will leave it up to you ta add your own caption.......

Sliver bells and Cockle shells, and pretty maids all in a row!
