After The Break

I think that we all have benefited from a short break over the Easter period.
Though some may have turned up last Wednesday and some ready for an "All Day" today, and that's not till next week!

It's nice to know that our members are so keen.

We had another addition to our Challenge pieces.....
Therese had done much research before applying her interpretation of Kasimir Malevich's "Black Square" (c1915)

but she did a great job didn't she!

 Everyone seemed relaxed and chatty and Di was busy choosing the position of a pair of doll legs.

This will be a partner to the one she has finished

 Chris has put her Teddy cushion to one side for the moment and is making a letter holder that has a Red Work panel

 Pauline is sewing a hexagon panel that will be added to a bag

Love red and white!

Ena and Glennys are both making little lampshades - these sit atop a champagne glass with a "living flame" tea light in.

so sweet!

 Shirley is working on her "Insanity" hexagon projext. I think the pattern

I think this is from 2008/9

 was for a bed quilt with over 11000 half inch hexagons.

..........Shirley has decided to make a cushion.......

 One of our members that has moved "up north" was also making this quilt. I will see if I can get her to send a progress report

 Barbara is using a baby's mobile pattern to create some cute animals that she will attach key rings to. These will be sold on our sales table in September

Love the Giraffe

 And she has used the same magazine to make some oversize finger puppets that she will pop a lolly into.

 Someone was quietly working on her "art challenge" piece. I wonder if she allows movable deadlines at her school?????

 Pam had been given two sweet cushions with a Dumbo embroidery on them,  and she was personalising them for her Grandchildren

to prevent arguments

 Jan is still busy appliquéing animals onto a fun baby quilt

 Somene had given a bag of crocheting threads for us to use and these pretties were found in the bag. We will see what they become soon I hope!

very fine thread

A couple of notices have been posted on the board - please take a look at them. 

We will shortly need one or two volunteers to collate next years activity programme.  Please don't ignore our request for a bit of help.....
