Patchwork 101

 Make sure you sew down the correct seam.......
                                
 Meanwhile, back at group, Jo has been sewing her Hexagons into a charming little bowl - Tutorial can be found here
 She uses this to keep her ball of yarn from rolling around the floor and it is really pretty. I can see so many uses for one of these.

 Ellen was also sewing hexagons - but this is a much bigger project.
lovely Liberty prints
 Angie has impressed all of us by getting ahead of Jo with her lovely socks.
 Linda is still working on last years Christmas Challenge. But that is good. It means it WILL be finished ..... one day.

Janis is working on her book - this is lovely. 

 A close up of another page - just look at that lovely stitching!

Barbara and Carol are working on some more "prick & stitch cards"
 Using lovely metallic threads
 You remember that Val is dressing all of the wine bottles in her house?
well I'm getting a bit worried
Just how much does she drink??
June has used some pretty fabrics to make some needle-cases

 Our Ena is finishing another counter-change coat hanger
makes a lovely gift
 You may remember that Brenda had some pre fused teddy shapes a few weeks ago. Well she is now sewing down the binding on a couple of Linus quilts


 We have four "Hussuff's" being worked on
Nearly there Glenys!
Love the Monogram
 Angie and Sue are still stitching - Bridget's just needs putting together


Remember Shirley was sewing a brooch last week?
Ta Dah! it's done
 And she has a production line of ribbon angels on the go


 Kay is making a tied heart wreath
we'll see more another time
 Chris is on another roll ... this will be a Christmas wall hanging and I have it on her good authority that we will see this at our Exhibition

And watch this space because Chris thinks it would be a good idea to add a video of her working on our little blog!   She may even film a tutorial for us... Exciting!!
Bridget is adding embroidery to an appliqué cushion

Mrs Beal is working on an "community" exhibit to show all of the causes that our group has donated to and supported over the years. The trouble is that all of the quilts have been sent off.
Many years ago we made "Help For Hero's" quilts.
We used a Cut and slice method and Mrs Beal has a pile of lovely brushed cottons to make another sample.
hope she remembers which way they go round!


Three of our members belong to a small group that make a mini quilt each month. Anyone can join in. They get a pattern on the first of the month and reveal on the last day of the month.
July Mini Mania!

 Lynda has not been able to attend for the last few weeks, but she doesn't forget us .....
YUM!!
Hope to see you back soon Lynda xx
