Two more finished cushions

And another two finished cushions from our last Saturday workshop.

Two finished cushions

Here are two more finished cushions from Saturday's workshop.

July's Cushion Workshop

The agenda for this month's workshop included 'disappearing blocks' as the basis for our cushions, finished with an Oxford edge and a lapped zip closure, all techniques group members wanted to learn how to do.

No photos were taken at the workshop. Many of the cushion covers were 'almost there', but not quite, so photos will follow in due course of the finished items (no pressure ladies!!!)

This is the first of the finished cushion covers, the centre panel being a variation of a 'disappearing 9-patch' block. It now has one of those nice plump 45cm cushions pads in it from that nice Swedish store.

Also in June.....

For the second year, we supported the local village fayre. What promised to be a scorcher last Sunday turned wet and cold just as we finished setting up and only turned nice again around 3pm when we ventured to roll up one side of the gazebo. So, a bit of a slow start and although the visitor numbers did increase, I'm sure more would have ventured out had the weather stayed nice all day. 

Anyway, we were pretty pleased with the stall, and there were a few sales so at least the table cost was covered.

Here are a few photos. As you will see, lots of lovely hand-made items, and not all patchwork and quilting.
