AGM

Usually groups have to bribe their members to come to their AGM, with cheese and wine or other attractions, but that's not so at Piecemakers.  Our AGM is a chance to review all the things we have done in the year, and for the members to voice any concerns or ideas they have.  This year was the same as usual.  There were nearly 50 people present, and we had covered everything in less than half an hour! Perfect!  Then it was on to the fun part of the evening, making doves for our entry to the Misterton Church Christmas Tree Festival. 

People were very diligent in cutting out and sewing the felt, 

and it was all eyes down here! 

Some people used the time to chat; it's great to catch up on the gossip. 

I don't know what piece of gossip Vicki is imparting here, but Ruth looks pretty shocked! 

This table managed well despite the lights not working in this corner of the room.  Good job they were sewing white fabric! 

June had pulled out all the stops (as usual) and had Halloween fabric with some rather funky flashing ghosts.  They looked very cute. 

Everyone must have been very busy finishing their exhibition entries, as there was very little show and tell.  This is a lovely cushion made by Di.  

This is a scrappy Linus quilt made by me.  It's a Bonnie Hunter pattern which uses up lots of 2.5" strips and squares.  I think the turquoise binding pulls it nicely together. 

Janet had made this splendid wall hanging.  The fruit looks luscious. 

And lastly, here is a gorgeous Christmas wall hanging made by Gaynor.  She said her favourite part is the penguins.  I like everything about it!
