Annual General Meeting ...... and some PATCHWORK!!!

 Mrs Beal had brought in a lovely zipper bag with a hand knit pair of socks that her DDIL had gifted her at Christmas.



Toasty socks and a beautiful bag
Elaine was sporting a patchwork waistcoat that she had made some time ago

 Crazy Waistcoat!

 And more crazy from our new member Christine, who was sewing the binding down on this cozy quilt
all hand pieced and then long arm quilted
 Maureen was doing a test run for our Linus Day,  using those shirt sleeves.

 A couple of people were working on their Secret project - It seems that colouring the sections means less mistakes!!  😜

Barbara was stitching some canvas. This will become a scissor keeper - hopefully 


More prep work ready for a sweat shop Linus day

Pauline (the Apprentice)
Mrs Beal (the Tutor)

 We have seen Kathy's EPP project in various stages but she was happy to be showing off these completed cushions.
 Kay is hand quilting a colourful transport panel
 Val is hand stitching these Hexi flowers down onto what will become a cushion for a grand daughter

Barbara was rather concerned that as she now had enough hand pieced blocks made up, she will now HAVE to make another quilt  😳
 Elaine (of the Crazy Waistcoat) has begun a Spring Applique project


Debbie is stil going strong on her scrappy hexagon project


and MORE head start work on Linus quilts
Brenda is sewing the binding on this one
 Angie has used this pretty Broderie Anglaise to make a crib quilt for a forthcoming grandchild
 Just a sneaky peak of Pauline's lovely flower quilt, that is being hand quilted and I will show it in all its glory quite soon I think

The AGM was as quick as normal - Lynda won the "book" at 13 minutes. Why waste time talking when you can be sewing??? 😝😏
