Shortly before Christmas, I saw this post by Jenny of Two Crafty Brownies, and decided that I had to make an angel for the tree. I pulled out these bits and bobs from my various stashes
and started by cutting out my circles
and making my yoyos - but now you will have to pop over to see how Jenny makes the whole angel!
here is my little cutie on the tree
I got this cute panel and spotty fleece from the lovely Sandra, our Linus lady
the spots from the fleece showed through the panel, so I got a piece of thin wadding from my basket of wadding offcuts
it didn't take long to have the quilt layered .......
ready to quilt with my favourite big lazy meander
Sandra was delighted with the finished quilt!
I looked out my revolving mat to start trimming the stitcheries to size ...... I had cut them out too big, to allow for the embroidery pulling the fabric out of shape
when I started cutting I changed my mind about which ruler to use. It makes it so much easier (and safer) to be able to turn the mat on its base as I cut each side of the hexies. I stuck little sandpaper spots on the template, to help keep it in place
they are looking good on the design wall
with all the problems last week, I didn't get to show you photos from the Abbey Quilters' meeting. These are three of the members waiting for the meeting to start, and looking at all the things I had brought to demonstrate
and committee member Val demonstrated what she does best ....... baking! A delicious cake
and even more delicious scones!
