First things first

The Founder Members of the group, many of whom are patchwork & quilting beginners, decided last Wednesday upon their first projects:

• There's one unfinished object (UFO), some pretty charm square placemats, that need quilting and a mitred binding. 
• There's a very pretty cushion cover like the sample photographed. This uses scraps of fabric and lace. 
• And a project bag in which to bring all our bits and pieces to future group meetings (and here's a sample of the proposed bag).

The requirements lists have been sent to everyone so, snow permitting, we'll be out shopping for fabric and/or searching through our fabric stashes. 

The group's initial constitution has been circulated for comment. A very important task but nowhere near as interesting as buying fabric!

And for the second time is almost as many weeks, we may make the Brentwood Gazette as the correspondent for Warley has been in touch.

There's still a few places for anyone wanting to join the group (it's not too late) so do get in touch to register your interest. You will find detail on the contact page.
