August Already!!

And Jo's tuition was in demand.

First by Annette who is make little dresses for her Grand-Twins Christening next month

And by  Lynda who is also making a smocked dress - just to hang on the wall in her studio!

 Barbara is on the last of 10 pieced Christmas decorations

because 10 is enough for anyone!

 Ann is appliqueing a Teddy Linus quilt

 Chris is stitching a sampler

And Eileen was just sewing the binding on a panel that she has made into a quilt 

 Elaine was doing the same thing. Both of these have been around ..........  for a while but they are both worth waiting for !

Jackie was also on a baby quilt, hand quilting still to be finished

Ena has remembered that she was going to make another clock as a gift.  Dresden Plate is her choice of block for this clock.

 Glenys is completely hooked on knitting these lovely bunnies.  She is planning a grey one next

so sweet!

Collen is stitching a pretty floral panel

Linda is also embroidering a sweet block

 Pam was embroidering her Christmas Red Work panels

 Bridget has got another one of her Block of the Month's blocks completed

 Shirley is playing with pretty beads and this snowflake is one of her favourite pieces.

And then there's the Fold and Stitch Wreaths (told you we would be seeing more!)
 Carole was away when we had the workshop but is catching up well

a Christmassy feel

 Tony was also away, but is on the last part of hers

June - another one absent for the workshops had finished hers

 As had Ena whose choice of bright and cheery fabrics are lovely!

Jackie had arrived a bit late on the Wednesday workshop and was feeling quite hot and VERY stressed but was still good enough to come along and have a go
  With a bit of help to catch up managed to get hers almost complete ....... until she ran out of thread, so that would be a finish for another day!

Appliqueing the paels

joining together

auditioning the fold back

Jackie has promised to send a photo of her finished wreath through as soon as it is done. But she is having a very well deserved rest for a few days!!


The lades that belong to the Mini Mania Challenge Group had brought their July challenges n to compare works

July's challenge was Seminole patchwork

they are .... quite small!

Some of the ladies were asking for the pattern for the Bear Ears Hat so I have added a link.

There will be NO Wednesday meetings in August.

The Monday Project Day on August 15th  will be a "do your own thing" day, though I do know that there are some small groups that are planning to do something together.   If you have a project that you would like to share, let us know.


For some reason the Tutorials page has disappeared from our blog!
I will pop in the pattern links here till it gets sorted !!!
Anyone who knows how to get it back - please let me know!!!!!
