Wednesday 2nd May

An unusually productive Evening I think!
 Carole & Jo showed us how to make the useful work bag.
Jo giving Maggie some instruction







everyone looks relaxed!

The bag has a zipped gusset that opens right up, so yes! we had a nice concealed zipper to put in before we started. That seemed to go surprisingly well.

Adding a decorative stitch to the handles
We all got the bag outside put together and the lining made up.  We will be adding the removable pocket section at our meeting on 23rd May.  We all had a really nice evening. Thank you Carol & Jo. 

Look good so far, don't they?
Don't forget ladies that we have the lovely Pat Archibald coming to speak on Wednesday 16th May. You can see her work HERE . The topic is "Around the World in Eighty Quilts". I know that you will enjoy this slideshow and talk. She will be teaching at a LQS on Thursday and Sunday.

Visitors are most welcome to the group to hear Pat, so please bring a friend too.

 Entry is £2 per person, refreshments included.

  1. Mmmmm your bags do look good. How big are they, perhaps you might have to 'show and tell' to the Monday ladies.

  4. Glad you enjoyed making them and when they are finished in two weeks then they should be a useful addition for carrying 'stuff' to and from workshops and quilting evenings.

    PS Lucky me I won the Poppy Patch quilt!! Never won anything like this before.
