Lots of supplies

Nearly there

 And some pretty decorations made

 Thank you Shirley - a great workshop


 Ena was off on her own quest of making more of her tiny beaded baubles

she's gonna need a bigger tree!

 Alison was showing these sweet Teddy decorations

 Thank you Alison - these are lovely


Barbara was helping create a whole flock of little chicks 

Pincushions galore

 Thank you Barbara - these would make a nice little stocking filler, and I expect to see more of these in the future.

 Meanwhile .......


There was a whole factory of doll dressing going on. 

Ellen adding hair

Very smart!

Gathering the dress yolks

Ena working furiously

 Making up the dresses

 Toni's first one done!

Pretty fabric

 Maureen's completed dress

 Just the hem to finish and then ......

 Faces to be added but we managed to get all of the little dresses complete - except for the buttonholes which will be done at home


Well done and thank you ladies!!

These dolls will be added to the Shoe Boxes that we are making up over the next few weeks.



Other items being worked on in the group -


Barbara is Cross Stitching this pretty bear

Chloe - our youngest member ( my many many many years)  has made her own Fold and Stitch wreath using this doggy fabric 

Well Done Chloe !  It's great!

Lynda had been to a workshop to make this lovely bag - which she said was a bit of a challenge - but is very happy with the final result.

ready for her next shopping trip

Susan is making hexagons that will become a bag later.

nice fabrics

Rosemary and Brenda were both working on an "easy" zipper pouch. Though they were thinking it was not that easy.

But I'm sure they will work it out


Jackie was showing Sue how to free motion quilt.  And Sue was doing very well too.

Carol had finished one of the two smocked panels that will become dresses for her Grand Daughters

And Yes - Christmas projects are underway!!

Beverley is embroidering a set of pictures that will be added to a quilt

Sally has started making this clutch of eggs into pine cones 

And Lynda has started her Christmas cards with this Prick and Stitch design.

I expect that Christmas will feature quite a bit over the next couple of months.  Hey Ho !  It will soon be the season.

Thank you to all who took charge of the projects this month.
