Meet the mice

The hand sewing projects are going down a treat. Just  a couple of hours at last night's meeting to complete this little mouse designed by two of our group members.

What did we do in February and March?

Well, February saw Katrina O'Neill visit us with her new travelling fabric showroom. At our second meeting in February Heather and Elizabeth led a mini tutorial on faux chenille. Faux chenille takes a long time to prepare, cut, stitch and decorate so it'll be some time before we see any finished pieces.


With Easter looking, Lesley and Eileen taught us how to make Easter bunnies at our last meeting in March. A hand sewing project that we all enjoyed, not least because because hand sewing is so much more sociable than machine sewing. Everyone had a good natter! I wonder how many eggs didn't make it into the bunnies' tummies?



We're looking forward to a visit by Daisy May Quilting in April for a talk about long arm quilting and, of course, their pop-up shop.
