Big discussions on fabric choice obviously
We had some very special visitors today.  This little lady was accompanied by Allison 

Didn't catch her name
Snorkmaiden from Sweden

Love that flower Pam

Sue has finished her  'beginner' Sampler Quilt that she made at her local quilt shop

Well done Sue, you should be very proud
and last but never least, Kim has been plodding along with her (totally) hand made quilt

Beautiful
Phew! what a lot of work.
Kim says there are about 3 more borders.  So watch this space.


 These photos were taken on Saturday. Fran has made a quilt as a Ruby Wedding Anniversary present for her friend. It was still a lovely day, but there was quite a breeze going on
This is no good
 So, in true Cirque Du Soleil style ,   Fran and Lynda did a bit of a performance          -----
nearly there!!!


 And we snapped this!!!!



 Some appliquéd blocks and some made with candlewick embroidery. The symbols all have a special meaning for the (very lucky) recipient.

This will be borrowed back for the Exhibition so you can see it in the flesh. Maybe we can get the girls to do a repeat performance?


Some of the Wednesday ladies were working on their Exhibition cushions

There was a lot of crazy going on

 And some were making cup cake pot holders

these would look good in any kitchen
 Elizabeth was making coat hangers, Jackie a quilt for a baby and the bright pink will be a jewellery bag that Maureen is working on,



 Lynda is adding the finishing pretty's to her Sea Horse wall hanging

sequins and beads
 A busy week all in all. Well done ladies!
