Bargelo Round Up

 We had lots of Bargello cushion finishes and lots more that are "almost there"

I think it was a fun exercise o try out a new technique and now we can tackle a more adventurous Bargello project with more confidence.

this one cause a bit of trouble as the fabrics had a very similar colorway

 Some great examples, don't you think?

Our youngest member Chloe (sorry Phoebe, younger than you!)  has completed her first quilt, and she has done a great job Well done Chloe!!

beautifully hand quilted!

 We had some scrappy log cabin squares

 Muriel was sewing hexagons

 Gill has finished a jumper for her husband (no photo as he was wearing it!) and is now knitting a hat

 Our newest (and oldest member at 94) was embroidering a pretty piece

 Ena was giving a sneaky peak at her April Mini Mania Challenge

very neat

 We had some (very early or very late) Christmas sewing in one corner

 Sunbonnet Sue

 And some hand Quilting

As well as a very pretty little girls outfit

Shirley was displaying her newly crocheted little girls hat

 And Sue had her Bow Quilt complete

 Hayley had used a panel to make a baby quilt gift

 Sue was wrestling with some bonded applique

 And Amanda brought in her finished clock

 Susan had her very neatly embroidered Needle-case completed and filled

So another productive month

We will not be meeting on Monday May 2nd (Bank Holiday)

Wednesday's meeting will be as normal.

Hope the sun shines so we can get in the garden but if not, I am sure that you will find something to do!

 

B..B..B..Bargello!

Project week at Group saw the ladies trying out a simple Bargello pattern.

It all staerted very promptly because the "teacher" had to leave at 1pm.

Quiet!!! 

heads down and keeping busy

There was some lovely colour selections

Lots of sewing and  cutting and before the magic began

Checking the placement

starting to see the design

Ellen ( who had been quiet all morning) was the first to complete her top

  

Jackie added all the extra fabric to her panel

So (nearly) all the cushion fronts were completed in a couple of hours.......

Except for Mrs Beal who spent far too much time relaxing......

But I have it on good authority that hers was completed during the week.

Hopefully we will see the finished pieces next week when more photos will be taken.
