So far we have been very lucky with the weather for our outdoor meetings as it was yet another hot and sunny day. We straggled in a line along the hedge where there was shade!
Julie had brought batiks to sell and I brought my rummage box, or at least, a selection of items from it. Thank you for your donations to Project Linus.
Some members are part of another group which is making group pictures. The idea is that each member chooses a picture, cuts it into six strips (one for each member) and each one must be made in fabric. At the next meeting the participants bring back their strips and the person who chose the picture gets to join the strips and keep the result.
Caroline chose the ‘Blue Painting’ by Kandinsky, and this is the result.
Practically identical! She’s going to use it to make a backpack. Paula chose a painting of puffins. I don’t have a copy of the original, but here is the finished item.
Stunning! Paula has also finished her BOM quilt. She used lots of colours.
Caroline also finished a Dresden plate UFO.
Her colours are fabulous, and her borders and sashing perfect! It’s going to be a present.
Gaynor has put her apple core quilt together. It’s been an on going project over papers, and has some very old fabric in it, apparently.
I spent much of this years lockdown beavering through my scrap drawers. From two drawers full of scraps and strings, I got it down to a quarter of a drawer! (Unfortunately that quarter of a drawer has been mating, because there’s more in there now, but at least I have some good ideas of how to tame it again!
It was lovely to have a catch up and see some familiar faces again. See you again in August!
