Addition

This beautiful quilt by Marissabell is now finished,
the ducklings are so cute, notice the little odd one?

he is the ugly duckling. ahh!


Last week in February.

Well, this is the last week in February and as you may
well have notice not a great deal of input from me.
On the last day of January I had a big!!!!!! birthday,
since then I haven't been well. We all joke about 
7 year itch. Well I've had  70 th year cough. I've
 never had a cough like this ever. I'm in the 4th week
and it now seems to be going.
Irene has invested in a new die cutting machine,
 this quilt is her first of many using a chenille
effect.
We at the class have bought her earlier model.
It cuts multiples of 2 1/2 in strips . so quick
and easy, also flying geese.



Foxy has been making table toppers, this will be a
chequered Dresden.

This is my charity quilt from scraps again, so quick
and simple, all I could manage at the moment.

This is another luxury shopper from Kate.
The fabric is from the designer shop freebies
again.One day we may use the stash .....
we hope.

FEBRUARY ALREADY!

The past 2 weeks have been so hectic in the hall,
new projects, new ideas, some of us (me)
promising to finish what I've started. Gifts for
new babies and charity work all taking off. 




This is another of Marions gifting quilts.
it will be raffled by her sister for charity.

This is the front. a lovely 50's type print like
 Mabel Lucy Attwell.(for those of a certain age)


Kate's butterfly quilt made with a charm pack
and quilted beautifully merrygo round style.


A group of the ladies have been making beenie
hats for the Innocence fruit drinks. The tables were
 loaded with wools of all colours, and sharing began.
also the Twiddle muffs are being made with all sorts
of additions. This week Beryl demonstrated
her new method of making multiple bobbles at
once. So very quick and cleaver.

Val brought her bag to complete it was to be gifted
but may now be kept for herself. Val made a quilty thing
( her sons description) completed and dispatched
along with pillow shams. I did take pics but some how
they must be floating in the ether some where.
When they land on earth I will retrieve them!

My promise to try to complete thing took a turn for
 the better my Hunters star no 2 almost completed.
jus
t the last border and then the binding. Hip Hooray.
