January

Happy birthday to Warley & Childerditch Quilters. We made it! One year on and going steady; long may it continue. To celebrate, we'll be having a meal at a local pub later in the month.

Three new members joined us this month, Heather, Barbara and Katie taking us to 20. Sadly one member, Eileen, has had to leave the the group.

Despite Christmas and New Year, everyone's been busy. Here's what they've been up to.

Amongst Tina's projects are this tree decoration (left) which she gifted to Rosemary who very much enjoys these small folded projects.


Tina also finished the table runner (top right) she showed us last month and this disappearing 9-patch quilt (bottom right). This quilt has a lovely fleece backing so it's very snuggly.


Lesley's working on quilt using fabrics from Worn and Washed but, no photo this month, perhaps next.

Gemma's been busy too and is currently piecing this pretty quilt (left).



In between knitting and lace making, Shirley's been working on this tumbling block piece (right) and, yes, she is aware that one block is the wrong way around! 

Maria's started ploughing through piles of old jeans to rescue the useable denim fabric and has made these two hobo-style bags (right). 

From this month our meeting time has been extended by 30 minutes to 10pm. Even that went too quickly on Wednesday!
