A Lot of Chatting

 going on at group today. Perhaps it was people catching up after the summer absences or maybe just avoiding getting on with what needs doing. I for one had taken an empty bag so no sewing for me!!

There is a Host of angels being made around the room. We should have the required  hoped for 100 of the little beauties ready for the Angel Festival at the church in November.

lots of different fabrics

 Chris was sewing squares for a Linus quilt

 Kay is on the final page of her quiet book. This may have put off doing a blanket stitch ever again!

 Sue has started a Christmas wall-hanging that we did at group a couple of years ago

 Carol has made these lovely Cathedral Window and Lace decorations.  She is teaching these later this year at her lace-making classes

 Shirley was catching up with the Celtic printing that we did a couple of weeks ago, unfortunately she missed this class so Ena was in charge of instructions today!

good luck with that Shirley!!

Toni has several rows of hexagons and we will see what this will be later.

 Barbara is stitching a rather pretty Red-Work cushion front

 And Annette was stitching another embroidered block on her block of the month Antique Sewing Machine quilt.

 Pam is on anther block of her "Be Attitudes" quilt. I am looking forward to seeing this one completed.

 And you remember the beaded smocking that Ena was making?  Well there is just a bit of sorting out with the size of polystyrene ball to go in it and then it will be ready to hang on her Christmas tree!

nearly there

 And just to show that I haven't been idling my time away, this quilt was made on the Bank Holiday weekend - start to finish. It has already been posted of to the new parents (who are both in the "force")  I had great fun making it and I hope they are pleased with it.

 Thank goodness for rainy days!!

Don't forget to sort out your scraps for the next "Project day" (Wednesday 10th & Monday 15th Sept) items for you to choose from are a group to view. There will be lots more too so  you can be sure to take home a finished piece.
