Workshop evening

The September meeting was four different workshops to make sewing accessories.  Vicki was demonstrating a clips holder, Gwyneth a thread carrier, Janet a bag with see through front and Ann a rotary cutter pouch.

Vicki is showing how to make the clip holder here. 

Here is the rotary cutter holder group. 

Gwyneth is making sure everyone is on task with the thread carrier. 

This group was making the bag with see through front.  Everyone enjoyed their evening and most people finished their item.  I know I was very pleased with mine! 

June was bang on trend with her raffle theme - autumn baking! 

Show and tell started with these beauties.  The one on the left was made at a workshop at the FOQ, and the other one followed from That!  Gorgeous! 

Vicki made this quilt for Project Linus using leftovers from another quilt.  Great colours. 

This is a very clever use of charm squares.  The off set arrangement looks really effective. 

This is a Linus quilt made from a half jelly roll.  Well, it should have been but this one was made of the equivalent in 2.5" strips, plus a 9.5" square.  It's really quick and easy to make and looks very 

good. 

This is a BOM quilt in gorgeous colours.  The books are named for the books on the maker's granddaughter's book shelf.  Great idea. 

We are looking forward to our next meeting, when we will be making doves to decorate a tree at the Misterton Church Christmas tree festival.  You will need to bring white thread, a small piece of freezer paper if you have it, a small amount of stuffing and your usual sewing kit. 

Don't forget your exhibition entries and sales table or tombola items.
