January 30th

Well, we are already at the end of the first month of 2012, so what has been going on. 

Firstly, many of the ladies are getting ready to make the Christmas wall hanging.  Today we recieved the little Angel that will somehow be put onto our first block.  June had chosen the angel, and given us some hints as to how she did the sample, so looks like we are A and Away.  If you would prefer, you could of course make your own Angel block up.  Some bags of Christmas fabrics were brought in, .......and they were soon snapped up.  So its looking good for next week.

There is also a splinter group making a quilt from the 'British Patchwork and Quilting' magazine.  The quilt is called Calendar Quilt, and each month a new pattern is published.  Some of the ladies are already making their second block.  The first block was an appliqued (I think) snowflake, and of course February's block is made up with hearts, can't wait to see what appears through the year.

While I was wandering around today I also spied some interesting things that we maybe able to steal for an 'all day' session.  Can you see that wee little bag in the magazine?????? Well guess what, it's not a bag but a door stop.....how cute is that.  Maureen is making a practice one, lets see how she gets on then may be we will steal that idea.

 All busy here, heads down and I'm not the one cracking the whip

 This person keeps a clean table!!!!  I think its Sheila

These flowers looked almost 3D

There were a lot of other things being worked on, I saw what may turn into a baby quilt, or may be a few cushions .... watch for show and tell.  Applique flowers, knitting, cutting and stitching.  Everyone seems busy this year.

DONT FORGET: For the ladies that come to Wednesday evening group we have Diana Turner coming on the 8 Feb. for a Sashiko  workshop.  The rest of us must wait until the 27 Feb. but it will be worth waiting for.
