A Bit Behind

  

 posting on the Blog, but life has gotten in the way a bit just lately, so I must apologise if you keep coming, hoping to see more of the lovely items the ladies have been making. Hopefully normal service will resume shortly.

More fabulous Bargello finishes

 And Pauline (who hates the glory) chose to make her piece at home. She also "experimented" with the layout.  It looks great Pauline! Well done!

Carol has been making paper pieced cushions

 Shirley was quilting this lovely Dolphin quilt for her niece

just some detail to add to the picture

 Ena was showing off  proud of  her Miniature Drunkards Path quilt that she made with the
 Mini Mania Challenge Group

measures 9" x 12"

 Lynda hand Lesley had brought their Mini's in too 

not her first attempt!

 Glenys has begun the embroidery on one of the little lampshades. This will keep her other one company 

 Lynda is working on a stitched piece too, but has run out of the Mint Green thread and is on the search for just a little bit more!

Pauline was not being distracted by the Coven girls this week and was happily stitching a panel 

 from this pattern

 Jan has finished three of the Sun Bonnet Sue blocks and is well on the way with the fourth and final one, before she puts them together

 Remember the Christmas Wall-hanging that most of the ladies made  in 2012?  Well Sue has embarked on a second one.

 Kathy is still sewing her Tumbling blocks together and it is looking lovely

 Our lovely Isobel was enjoying the company and was knitting 

 Beverley is making a woolly wallhanging

Brenda is using more Batiks and has put together this beauty

 Gail is working with Tweed fabrics to make this lovely cushion

 Gill is busy crocheting a Road Trip shawl and has also made some of the premie hats for the memory boxes.

 Jackie has been busy making these cute birds

 And has almost finished this gorgeous baby quilt

 

Right - I think that that is all the photo's up to date. I will try to keep up in the next few weeks!

Next Monday is our All day project with Janis 

We will be doing "Collage Creation"  (also known as Use your Scraps!)  

As we know, Janis is very clever and has books and everything!

  

And she has examples of things that we could be making 

 This is a memory picture where she has collaged lots of things that she could not bear to throw away

a card or two, a precious piece of fabric

 This photo frame is so sweet

Love this!

or an embellished piece that you could hang or make a special notebook cover

So you will need:-

Scraps of fabric - even the tiniest pieces will be used

Machine Embroidery threads - variegated threads will be lovely, and metallic onesas well as plain colours.

Hand Embroidery threads

A piece of plain soft vilene, calico or an old pillowcase to use as you baking for the scraps

A piece of pelmet Vilene for the Photo Mount. It would be useful if you had the picture frame that you will use if you are going to use this as a mount. It can be used by itself if you wish.
