A Very Productive Evening

 With quite a few different projects being worked on and even completed!!!

 Jackie has made this bright Kindle stand (we borrowed Lynda's phone for photographic purposes). Apparently this sit nicely on Jackie's .... er ... chest so she can read her device in bed and no hands!
This could be made in all sizes to fit any tablet.


 Louise has made a raggy Heart Wreath to go in her kitchen.
a finish from Louise - wow!
 Elizabeth was finishing sewing down the binding on a baby quilt for her daughters friend.

Very pretty - Guess baby's name?
 Lesley made this --- ages ago and was about to hang it in her sewing area when she found that she had still to stitch down the binding. It's all of 12" square so that job was finished too (just!)


And in the rest of the room. there was lots of stitching going on.

Lynda has begun candlewicking a panel  that will eventually become a rabbit

remember this chappie?
 Nesta has finished the blocks for her sons quilt. This has been a labour chore bit of a challenge to Nesta, as the fabrics (brought back from Burma by said son) are definitely NOT Nesta's choice of colours.  It's funny how hard, working with alien colours can be so hard. 
Anyway, she is appliquéing these peacocks onto the black fabric ready to add to the back of the quilt.
she does like the peacocks
 Brenda was using up some scrap fabrics on a Crazy panel the she will donate to our cushion raffle at or Exhibition in September

 Susan was piecing together a jigsaw of blocks
will show more of these later
 And last week I promised to show some finished postcards.

 Carol finished hers off with machine blanket stitch. Not something she will be doing again it seems...
a happy chap
 Susan finished hers of with a very close zig-zag (not quite satin stitch )
 And somewhere in her Mum's stash was found a printed panel that was put on the back
just the job!
The temperature has dropped considerably and we have had a furry of snow,  a good weekend to snuggle up with some sewing,  ladies.
