Bowling Along

 It was our Monday All Day session this week, and the project was Fabric Bowls.

We have made these ages ago, so there were some of our newer members that wanted to have a go.

We had a selection of patterns to choose from, but the most popular was the Tulip Bowl

We used Pellon  Pelltex 2 Double Sided Fusible interfacing which gives a very rigid construction

So templates were cut, fabric fused and stitching commenced.

 Sewing around the shapes with a satin stitch (a challenge for some)

 Then adding the detail

 Annette was the only one who completed her bowl, but I did notice that she was the only one actually getting on with things and not chatting at every opportunity!!

adding the sides to the base

 Ta Dah!!

 Well done ladies. Looking forward to seeing more of these over the next few weeks.


Lynda is back with us and was making up a cushion for the Raffle. Hers is a Candlewicked panel

 This is lovely - has a real old fashioned look to it.

 Pat has finished her Wonky Log Cabin front and was deciding whether to put piping around it. The vote was Yes!

 Pam was on another Nancy Halvorsen block - guess which season....

 Gill, (recently retired from Knit & Sew) brought along a couple of boxes of excess stock for us to have a look through. She also brought a bag of balls of sock yarn, which there was a skirmish to purchase!

Some socks will be made but some of the ladies that belong to a little crochet group are making  "Road Trip Shawls" using this 4 ply yarn,(the pattern states Double knit) and they are working up beautifully.

 We may see more of these later!
