Easter Production

 I feel that this Blog should be titled "What Debbie Did Next "

Wait for it ...

Debbie has decided to use this Isewlation time  to work her way down her pile of UFO's 

Some fabric boxes

 a pin cushion
 An armchair tidy
 A table topper
 And a lovely quilt for her Grandson
 Yes - All from Debbie  - and I hear there is more to come!!



And now to other members 🙄

Sue is taking part in the Quilters Guild Bock of The Month  - the quilt so far
 Ellen has been ticking off her UFO's
 As well as making Scrub Bags for Northampton General Hospital

 Carol has become addicted to making blocks for her Isewlation quilt


sashing to be added to this one




 and Lesley is trying to keep up

 Maria is still making worms for her Jelly Roll rug
 Lynda has embarked on another baby quilt - I think this is for a Great Nephew/Neice

 Lesley and Jo have been sitting in the sunshine with some embroidery



Jo has taken a bunch of Miniature quilts that she made with a Mini Mania group and joined them altogether into this beautiful quilt.  Quite a Challenge as they were all different sizes 


 Debbie is going to continue with her crochet blanket till it covers her completely and she can go into hibernation till this Lockdown is over !!

 She is nearly there !!


 Elizabeth sent a message to say that she was making Scrub Bags for Northampton General Hospital

As she is the designated shopper for her lovely Mum and Dad, she was able to pick up more bags from the ladies in Rushden and Higham en route to Mum.

Again - you lot have come up trumps

Elizabeth was able to hand over 70 Scrub Bags to her sister (who is a nurse at the hospital) 





 And if any of you feel inclined, they still need more!!!
 so simple to make -They are just unlined draw string bags. 

 

If you are not up to making a bag - how about some crochet hair bands - Known as Mask Mates - used to hook a mask around - they save the nursing staff getting sore ears -



The pattern for these ( given in American Terms) can be found on Ravelry




 We are sending the next batch on Thursday of you are able to help 

OR you can post to
The Hospital Kindness Co-Ordinator
Northampton General Hospital
Cliftonville
Northampton

I am trying to find out if Kettering General Hospital are needing the same items. 

and you don't need to go to the post office - you can print your own postage label here  
and just pop it in the post box on your daily walk.   

Let me know if you are making and I will collate the things for Elizabeth to pick up
