Ena was on a 'finish up' mission, so Smocked pillow complete with feather inner, and such a cute rag doll....all done!!   So, look who came to visit today......I would like to call her 'Raggedy Ann' but I know Ena has chosen  a much better name, I just can't remember it  Der!!!


Well done Ena
Muriel is onto smaller things this week,
Love those tail feathers

Liz is still working on her appliquéd cuties, She is certainly going to have a lot of 'Linus' quilts ready for next year.


Too Cute

Eileen and Shirley are beavering away at their 'block of the month/quilt as you go' quilts. 

The photo doesn't do justice to the hand quilting on these blocks.

Can't wait to see these completed, but have to wait for a few more months.
Who would not want to receive this beauty, appliqué, embroidery, and such sweet verse.  

Waiting to see what this turns into----card, cushion, quilt block.  


More Christmas blocks...... snowflakes and houses seem to be the theme this month.

Very neat, but she has two to make.

all kept neat and tidy

Are you swapping snowflakes for stars?


Careful cutting


Lots of beads being added to this one


There always has to be one that's different, but we love your laughter 

Oh my! just how many of these will be needed?  All hand sewing----- take my hat off to you
Phew!!
Do you remember last week we had a photo of Chris's 30's quilt?  Well it looks like she is going to use up all the 'left overs' by making another baby quilt...... love those fabrics.

Looks good 
Last but never least.... Lynda has finished her baby quilt....... is that three she has made this year??? Think her family need to buy a T.V. 


'Sun bonnet Sue' with added butterflies and birds...Love it.

Just a reminder that this month Helen Spence will be coming to our 'all day' to show us some tricks with triangles.  Make a note in your diary 20th August.

    2. Just a bit of cloth that you throw over your chairs to stop macasser oil (from hair) getting on your furniture. Some people have to make flash ones!!!!!
