A Little Bit Packed...

 ...at group today. Now we know why we have a waiting list!!

 And there was a lot of busy ladies around, including "E" who had had a fall and was sporting quite a nice set of bruises, but was keen to get a huge number of "reindeer food" sacks ready for a rainbow group. There's loyalty!

cute fabric

Pat is making a concerted effort to finish (last years) Christmas picture

rather elegant don't you think?

 Muriel has completed another foundation piece block

 Chris was active (for a change) and is stitching a pretty Christmas panel.

 Pauline is making a scissor keeper. These are so useful.

for gifts?

 Jan is embellishing a Christmas wall hanging. Lots of different seasonal blocks here

Joyful

 There are quite a few embroidery projects going on in various parts of the room
 Starting with a cute Owl

lovely texture with this

 some tiny embroidered motifs ready to put into a patchwork project

these will go into 3" sqaures1

 A tiny sampler in progress

that's why Lynda had a those magnifiers!

 And a HUGE stunning cross stitch of Ann's family tree, this traces her family back to 1751

a few finishing touches and we will reveal at a later date

 And one of our new ladies is stitching a red-work picture which I think will be framed later.

lovely

Still more Hexagons being worked on.

love these colours

 A nearly finished Union Jack quilt made with the Downton Abbey range of fabrics. There is a free pattern download here

rather effective triangles

 And next week we will see what Maria has made from this square

 And then there was Shirley.  

Auditioning?

 What can I say!!!!


 Next Monday afternoon we hope to have Jill from Sew Northampton showing us how to use those extra feet that we had with our machines and that we keep looking in despair. Bring along your machine and any feet that you would like to know how it works!

I will confirm her attendance and post here later in the week.
