Getting Knotted

 On Wednesday, we had our "corners" project evening and you may remember this simple but very effective dust collector tra la that Jackie had made some time ago. It is just scrap strips of fabric tied onto a piece of string and the embellished with ribbons, buttons, scented soaps. They really are quite pretty when finished.

all tied ready to decorate

Carol decided that she would make a Christmassy one

maybe add Cinnamon sticks?

And there was also a sewing purse pattern that some were making

Jackie was stitching some Scissor Keepers

 A simple but pretty stitch on the sewing machine to finish off.

 Gillian's Redwork Garden Girl is almost finished

 Louise has finished a Redwork wall-hanging - never put her down as a golfer!

 Monday saw Angie talking most of the afternoon making some more hexagons to add to her box. I am sure that she will tell us what they will become one day!

quite small

 Jo is midway between her sewing projects and decided to bring her crochet flowers to make, these will be the centre of some granny squares for a blanket 

 Marie is also on hexagons, but she is sewing into rows.

 And remember the cushion that Sue was working on?  Well he is now finished - isn't he a cutie?

  More Hexies ! The other Sue had finished her Liberty prints quilt. This will grace her sofa.

soft colours

 Hazel was working on a couple of bunny hearts

 And it seems that they are doing what bunnies do .......

multiplying as we speak!

 Chris has nearly completed the embroidery that will become a cushion. It is really pretty and I hope that this will be one that goes into our cushion raffle in September

 Spring is definitely in the air and Bridget is using these bunnies to make a mobile for her niece's twins that are due shortly

 More bunnies from June, this time little bunny bags to fill with chocolate for Easter

 Lynda had had a clear out of blocks that she had made and not used. Ellen, Ena and Maureen have made simple calico bags to sell at the Exhibition.

 Another job sorted!


Toni was making one of Annette's zippy pouches last week and brought the finished item in to show.  I just love that fabric!

 There were quite a few still working on the pencil cases and crayon roll up's for Mrs Beal to add to the shoe box appeal.


 Pauline making more Fish pencil cases

 Brenda was using the notebook pattern

 So there was a really good selection for Mrs Beal to take home with her.

 Thank you to all the ladies who have given their time to help with this project.


Jan brought in a sample of the (I think she called it ) Hussuff that she will be teaching on our all day in May.

 And she was also adding lots of pretties to make a couple of notebook covers

Colleen is creating a beautiful piece of embroidery

 Tuula is adding the last quilting stitches to her very pretty quilt.

 And just look at this lovely selection of bunting panels. These are for a wedding and there are MANY table cloths being made for the occasion too!.

 Now -- just in case it has slipped your mind, NEXT WEEK is the date for returning your completed Challenge pieces.  If its not done yet - you have ONE WEEK LEFT !!!!
