Back - Refreshed and Ready for Work

Or some of us were. Wednesday evening meetings have resumed after a short summer break.

Whilst they may have been away from group, it doesn't mean that they have been slacking

Jackie had finished (yet another) quilt, this is one af three that she is making for a family of sisters. The girls have chosen their fabrics and Jackie is left to interpret their requests.
This request was for a vintage style.
 And this was the stunning fabric she used on the back!

Sue had designed her own quilt too
lucky person to sleep under this
 And Nicki had finished a childrens quilt that we have see in stages before.
Nice and bright
 Nesta had a bit of a scowl on her face when she came in. Her lovely son had brought some fabrics back from on of his many trips to Burma. He is a doctor, and has travelled there for some years, gets sneaked across the border, treats remote villagers and then sneaks out again. Things are better now that they have opened the borders. Anyway, he brought back a selection of ethnic fabrics that - well - are not to Nesta's tastes!

Well , a note pad and pen and a couple of sketched options have given her a project for the winter, and this will adorn said sons bed. It will be lovely - TRUST ME!

Annie Angel keeps appearing (as angels do) in various costumes

Beverley has a new grandchild due shortly. The family lives in New Zealand so pieces have been made and will be sent off at the beginning of next week, so as to arrive in time to welcome the little one.

One item was a beautiful knitted shawl
 And another is Robbie Rocking Horse

Isn't he a corker!!
 Next Wednesday we are having a "Scrappy" evening, so suggested projects were on display and choices have been made. Seems like we have a lot of these will have to be consumed before
all will be revealed







I have a picture of a GIANT Dorset Button to show you, but I am going to keep it till another time. I want to get another picture with something else in so you will see the scale.


One of our members is "wandering' around the U S of A at this point in time. Pop over to her blog and see what she has been up to
