October

This month, we invited the local Project Linus co-ordinator to our group meeting to talk to us about the project. We have in mind making a quilt or two for the project as part of our 2014 programme and are now so much better informed about what's needed, why and how to go about it. What we need to do now is gather all our fabrics and find organisations local to us who could make good use of the quilts so, watch this space!

As usual we managed to fit in a quick 'show and tell' and, again, there were some lovely finished projects.

This is Gill's quilt, a raggy quilt which now needs to be washed and tumble dried to complete the ragging process.

Elaine's been busy making Christmas tree hangings and has a few requests still to fulfil. This is one of the finished ones (left).








We saw another two jelly roll purses from Elaine and Rosemary. This is Rosemary's one, which just needs a flower to be added to the flap.  

This month saw the first of the Christmas table runners completed by Gemma.

Tina's been busy too. Her blue and white quilt is coming along nicely but isn't quite finished yet, but this lovely Christmas wreath is.


And, we welcomed Jenny to the group taking our membership to 17.
