Christmas is coming.....

After setting up all the tables and chairs ready for our all day session 'Gloria' gave us a warm welcome and we certainly welcomed her and long may she continue to heat us.

So, off to work we go..... lots to do and sew today.

Is this a mess or work in progress
No, this is a mess
Is this going to be a mess?

Lots of ribbons and fabric waiting to be cut and tied.   Believe me this is certainly a job to be done in a group with lots of laughter ....
And this is the crowning glory 














I think someone got a bit bored and decided that her wreath had more to do that just hang on the door...... anyone know a wedding she can go to.







But this was the final count down.......look good don't they
Someone is good at tying bows....thank you Glennys

Other Christmas items being made were...






Coasters, table napkins, and Christmas tags

Tea Cosy almost finished 
and who can resist a Dove
And then we have a cute Owl "sleep over bag" being made for one lucky grand daughter. Pockets for all the things a girl need and room for PJ's and a favourite pillow inside.
An elegant advent calendar panel to be finished before the end of the month

A couple of not quite finished Christmas cathedral window cushions made at a workshop with Helen Spence at a LQS. Looking forward to seeing these completed.

And a very healthy display of the assorted items that have been made today.

A big "Thank You" to the ladies who brought us the ideas and created the samples for us to see. A big success I think.

Well done ladies!!

  1. I had a lovely day today. Can't believe how much ribbon those wreaths take, but I love mine!

    I think we have had some really good "all days" this year. Now we have a lot to live up to to make next year as successful. Need to get the thinking caps on soon!!

    Comments are now open so lets see some more ladies.

  2. Loved the day and let's face it with out every one joining in we would not have so much fun or ideas, so thanks to all. Got a few ideas up my sleeve for next year, but we still have one all day this year and that one could be the best as there is food involved. Yeah!!!!

    1. To the daughter of a member of cock up corner you might not get a tea cosy in your stocking - and there`s not much chance of a hat either. Welcome to Sue - you were sitting rather close to cock up corner- were you trying to tell us something? Great day - keep them coming.
