After the Delay

Sorry Ladies, missed posting for a couple of weeks, but the Chancellor needed my end of year account (we are no longer in recession, you can thank me later!)

Right -

Helen Spence came to this evenings meeting to share her "6 Tricks with Triangles" demonstration.

Like a Lamb to the Slaughter!

 It doesn't look like she's bothered though

Because they had all had the warning to behave!!

Picture of innocence!

 We started with Somerset Folded Patchwork

A 3D flower

 

And then we had 3D Flying Geese ( sometimes called "one seam Flying Geese") 

And continuous Prairie Points, which everyone was amazed at.

Helen also showed us another way to set blocks on point, or A Square in A Square, without cutting triangles!

Everyone had a chance to have a go at these methods, and minds are whirring with ideas.

A Good Evening, 

Thank you Helen!

Here are some photos taken over the last couple of weeks
