I have been down the A1 to The Quilt Shop so often recently, I think my car could drive there on its own! Today I took in the finished Funky Chickens wallhanging (which is even brighter than it looks in the photo!)
I kept the quilting simple, stitching in the ditch round the blocks, and a quick fmq round the chickens
and here it is, hanging up in the shop. Several people have already signed up for the class, so hopefully now that the sample is on show, more people be interested
this snowman cushion is a hybrid. Sonia made the background at the original class, but then decided she didn't like it (she subsequently made another one), so she gave it to Ros, who added the appliqué. They are now going to give it to charity
Ros was working on this little baby quilt, which will also be going to charity
Christine did the first snowman workshop, but unfortunately missed the second one, so today was the first chance that we had to get together for her to do the appliqué. Don't you just love the fabric she picked for his trousers, and his funky purple boots!
Moira was making blocks with the tiniest of scraps - I think they will eventually become a bag
we had a newcomer to our Wednesday Ladies group ....... I asked her if her name was spelt Lyn or Lynne (I do try to get names right, having spent a lifetime having my name misspelt). No, she said, it is Lynn. She had brought a bag of scraps to use up, prepping some pieces ready to hand stitch together
Sue has been taking part in a giveaway of Aurifil threads. Having filled in a coupon in a magazine, I gave it to Sue, having made the required spend of £15 (not difficult to do in a quilt shop). Sue sent off the coupon, and this pack of delicious threads arrived yesterday in the post
it is a rather wet and unpleasant evening, so Malcolm lit the fire ........ sitting by a roaring fire brings back memories of childhood for both of us.
