Its Taking Over!!!

 Knitting that is.   All around the room, the ladies needles are clicking away. There is some lovely yarn about, and Gill (ex Knit & Sew) keeps bringing more for us to try and resist.   Which we don't!

I'm not sure if the popularity of knitting and crochet is because items need to be completed before the big C day, or whether its because the ladies can knit and talk at the same time!! The latter I am thinking!!

Anyway, I heard it here folks, Angie will have two socks completed by Christmas (and they will be the first and last pair she makes!)
 Colleen's embroidery is coming on. this may be slow, but the work is exsquisit!
You may remember that Brenda was working on some alphabet blocks for a baby quilt?  Well said baby is due in 10 days and the binding is being sewn down so she still has time to spare!  Its a lovely piece.


 Mrs Beal decided last week, that she will join in with the Wreath making on our next all day, and is preparing lots of Flying Geese for the project.

 Janis is chopping up clothing ready to make a quilt.

And Linda had forgotten to bring her finished stuffed bell, so we will see that another day, and she has already started on her next project.

Remember Phoebe's Paper Pieced snow folk?  Well she has made great progress and is confident that she will have the quilt completed by Christmas


Bridget must have taken a pill because her Gold Work piece is progressing rapidly! ( Not her usual pace!)

Maria was not at group when we did our Mini day, but has the pattern and is cracking on with this Shoo Fly.

Elaine is hand stitching her appliqué blocks
 And Jo is also hand stitching these cute bears for an baby quilt.

Jan was happy to have finished a set of bunting for a friend's space.


Eileen will have the BIGGEST bow on her wreath next week!!


Carolynne is on a production line, making these lovely felt hearts for her church Christmas Fete
Chris is working down the box of donated fabric and is piecing these novelty squares to make a Linus Quilt

And we had four of the Mini Mania Challenge groups quilts on display. Their theme for October was Appliqué, October and Orange. How different can you get?

I hear that their November piece will be a Churn Dash - so they should all turn out similar?  We shall see!
