Wednesday Showcase

Wednesday evenings meeting saw three new ladies  join us. We hope that they enjoyed the evening and will not have been scared off by our expertise!! One lady had received a new sewing machine for Christmas, and needed a bit of guidance as she had never sewn anything before! We will sort her out

Sue had begun to add the borders to a rather nice panel to make into a baby quilt. I think the fabric range is called Oink Oink Moo by Moda

Love those piggies

 Carole is making a baby quilt for a friend of hers, using appliquéd teddy bears

all tucked up in bed

 Susan is making a sewing tidy and hopefully we will get a pic of the completed piece next week. I rather like the tape measure ribbon trim.

neat zip insertion too - impressed!

Brenda and Eileen have got a heads start on making Linus quilts - Brenda is piecing, and Eileen is appliquéing

vivid colours

Twins anyone?

Elizabeth has just completed a quilt for another children's charity Love Quilts UK  
and if you are up to it (need a box of tissues)  pop over and have a look at their site and see where these quilts go. Makes our aches and pains pale into insignificance.

Elizabeth has made quilts for Love Quilts UK before.  All of the blocks are cross stitched on a theme for a particular child.

each quilts has a cross stitched label attached

I will get Elizabeth to snap another shot so we can see the full glory of this quilt.

On a "world" theme?

Ena is also doing a bit of embroidery/cross stitch. Looking good so far Ena. A most appropriate subject me thinks.

what is it they say about red hat ??!!
