A Productive Day and a Reminder (PLEASE READ TO THE END!!)

 Our All Day session this month was a "UFO" day. We all have lots of things that want finishing off or generally progressing, so that was the order of the day.

We did start of with a Raffle for this huge Hippo cushion. Elaine has made this to raise funds for a Cystic Fibrosis Charity

Names selling well!

 Ann will be on holiday for our February project day (making Linus quilts) so she is doing hers now.

 Lesley was using up some nice Moda samples, making knitting bags, which will be sold for charity

 Jan was challenging herself to make more that one Twisted Log Cabin block - this will be a much larger project.

 Marie is using all of her pink scraps, and has assured me that I will be taking a photo of an elephant next week!

 Di has recently had some alterations done in her kitchen and has mad a Tea Cosy to co-ordinate, and finished the matching table runner

Nice bright colours!

 June has used up lots of fabrics to make a bunch of shorts for the "Dress a Child" charity.

 Aren't they cute?

 Bernice belongs to another group, and they are making the "fidget" blankets for dementia sufferers

lots do do on this one!

 Alison has finished her beautiful embroidered lace pincushion.

to nice for pins!

 Debbie is making a secret project using these pretty hexagons

 Elaine was sewing down the binding on this vibrant batik quilt

Bridget was adding the last stitches to her Gold-Work piece. This will be framed (very soon)  It's just lovely.

 Shirley was also working on a secret project (wonder what they might be?). Hers is a Foundation Pieced block

 This lovely panel is also just about complete

Barbara had found some fabulous Japanese prints that will become a quilt.

 June not only has made all those shorts, she is finishing this bright cot panel too!

Fran has embarked on a wall hanging that will hang behind the font in her church. This will include both pieced panels and some that are worked in Candlewick Embroidery .

One of three embroidered symbols

 Pam is also getting ahead of herself and has started her Linus offering early

teddies are always popular!

 Liz is another secret squirrel worker!  Lovely pin-wheel colours

 Kathy (one of our newest members) brought along one of the oldest projects!  She discovered these hexagons in a cupboard when she moved house. Now it's public, there is pressure to finish it ....... sometime!

Hazel has made progress on this embroidered piece. She only works on it at group. Its going to be really cheery!

Next week 

we will have our Annual General Meeting. Starts at 2.pm for those not usually attending our Monday session, and will only last 20 minutes

 (if I can stretch it out) 

Hopefully you will all be able to attend this short, but necessary piece of business

We will also hold a

 SPECIAL C**P RAFFLE 

with the funds going 

Cancer Research UK

Two of Lynda's grandchildren (18 & 16) are doing a sponsored Sky Dive to raise money for this charity to support their Uncle who is having treatment at the moment. 

Just for fun, you can pay an extra £1 to wind Lynda up with a joke about the perils of this activity!!! 

(her palms will be sweating just reading this!)

I feel I may have to organise a queueing system for this!!!

So hopefully we will ALL join in and bring along a wrapped item and buy a ticket to show our support 

If you know someone who was missing this week, please let them know about the raffle, then they wont feel left out!
