A "Productive "Day


 Alison is progressing well with her "Stump-work" (wish they called it something nicer!) embroidery. You will have seen this before, but it was a ........while ago. Worth the wait I think.

she is beautiful

 Annette has nearly finished her miniature quilt. 3/8 " hexagons. This will top a pile of miniatures that was made on a "Princess and the Pea" workshop at her LQS

just the sides to fill in

Jan is working an appliqué block for a baby quilt

And we have Chris back after her knee surgery making another lovely Linus quilt
such pretty fabric

Carol is adding the finishing touches to a couple of cushions that are to be a Golden Wedding gift

if you recognise the photos - DON'T tell!

 Ena and Shirley are smocking pieces that will be made into Christmas decorations
tiny beads!
I love the effect

Ellen has lost the plot (again)  and is making Dozens of hats that will hold a Ferrero Rocher chocolate or she may go posh and use M&S chocolate marshmallow. These will be on a charity sales table later in the year.
Chocolate Marshmallow for me ..

 Caroline is quilting an alphabet panel. I think this will be bunting.

love the panda

And Colleen is adding buttons and beads to a Red Work Embroidery quilt that she is making. The pattern is called Around the Garden . It is lovely.


 Pauline is working a cross stitch book mark. It is quite fine and she may need new glasses to complete it!
A topiary garden

 Brenda's tessellation Perpetual Calendar piece is coming on nicely



We have another baby quilt going on here (sorry, I have lost track of who did this)

Jan's Log cabin cushion will have poppies appliquéd onto it
Add caption

And Kim is working on a pieced block that looks interwoven

very effective!


And when I say a Productive day, I mean that in more ways than one.  Muriel brought in boxes of produce from her allotment for the ladies to buy.



And as I was a bit late in getting there (nothing new there!) I missed out on those yummy gooseberries. Bummer!

The warm days may have put a few ladies off, but we will be All Day on Monday, making fabric covered boxes. There will be a few sticky fingers there --- Trust me!
