Postcard Workshop

 Busy Busy at group on Monday. Shirley and Ena had arranged a little workshop making postcards. There were lots of appliqué designs to choose from, with Sun Bonnet Sue being one of the most popular.
There are sweet cards, that can actually be sent through the mail service as long as you don't add buttons and beads.

Bright flowers and a cute Bird House

 It looks like Alison is preparing for Valentines Day, and Sue and Glennys are hand sewing their appliqué

 Bernice had started a card at another workshop, so she finished hers today

More Sun Bonnet Sue

 This one is destined for foreign climes

 Lynda finishing her edges

a real seaside postcard!

 This is a handmade card that Sue had received

simple but very effective

Pauline browsed though one of the books the our in house library has on the subject.

Lots of ideas

And the witches Wellingborough girls had chosen Christmas as their subject matter. Not sure if its the speed that they work at, or they just want to get ahead this year>?!?

what a lovely idea!

 Christmas finishing is what Annette was determined to complete

just the quilting and face to go.....

 If Lesley had got on with things in the morning instead of drinking coffee and staring into space, this table runner might have got a bit further!

Barbara is sewing a bag to pop these Five Little Ducks into, they are for her Grand Daughter who is a teacher and this is destined for a school classroom.

 Carole is sewing a couple of Celtic cushions.  These were the items that she drew in the C**p raffle last month. She is delighted with them and wants to thank the kind donor. You see --- one persons c**p is another's treasure. 

Save your "treasures" for another raffle at next months All Day Session when we will be making Sensory Quilts for People with Dementia in association with Higham Ferrers Mothers Union.

Pop over to Pinterest for some ideas!

We had raised over £50 on this raffle plus some other bits and bobs that were not actually club funds so we donated £100 to the Sanctuary   - there but for the grace.......
