A different venue this week.


 As there is no heating at the Hensman Hall, we have called in a favour (not sure what Lynda has to do for payment!!) and are meeting at Rushden Bowls Club. Lots of lovely light and heat, but not quite so much space so we had to keep a bit tidy!
A nice space to work
As you can see, we had the usual problems from one corner!
TROUBLE!!



And it looks like they are trying to recruit more to the clan. 



 But we did have quite a bit of constructive sewing during the afternoon.
Heads down here!


Carolynne, who is really a knitter, found a little doll pattern and made her first!
She has four more to make now, one for each Grand-Daughter. We will make a sewer out of her yet!!
 Several more of the Christmas stocking were being produced. Di is on a stocking marathon ready for a charity sales table at her daughters local hospital.

 Maria is sorting out her blocks for the Christmas block of the month project. She got the top put together - we will post a photo of that later

And a FINISH!




Lynda has been making an embroidered and pieced quilt as a block of the month. The pattern came from here. This was both machine and hand quilted. Another one off her UFO list. Well done!

  1. The girls were a bit quiet this week! On their best behaviour for once. It was nice to be in the warm too.
