Spring Has Sprung and Crazy Comes To Town

 The sun was shining and there was a warmth in the air.....

 And good old Angela has volunteered to sew labels on the Linus quilts.

There are lots. 

 She is a hero.

one down - dozens to go!!

 Christine was foundation piecing some very pretty blocks

lovely colours

 And Lynda is still hand quilting her Sampler.

lots of blocks to go

 Angie was happy to show of her challenge sewing machine pad - with pockets! Go Angie!

handy pockets to keep you essentials in

 But the day was dominated by the lovely Diana who came to show us tips on embellishing Crazy blocks - lets face it, we do CRAZY very well!
 So some started by piecing the blocks

 starting off well

nearly done

really colourful

And then the fancy stuff was added

using all those fancy stitches on your machine

Hand or Machine?

Adding some hand embroidery

like the swirls!

And here are some shots of works in progress

Ellen's rather sophisticated colours

embellished blocks

Murial has used all sorts of fabrics in her blocks

Has quite a Victorian feel

Glennys used candy colours, I wonder if this will be something for her grand-daughter

pretty selection

Ena's colour choice was quite strong - doesn't it make a difference?

pretty pansy fussy cut for the centre

A BIG THANK-YOU to Diana for helping us all out today.
For anyone who may be interested Diana will be with us on Wednesday evening too.

And this is our 101th post!! Where did that time go!!
