First indoor meeting!

 In September, we held our first indoor meeting and it was a huge success!  Everyone who came 29 people) felt very safe, and what is more to the point, had a great time. 

People enjoyed getting together, and lots of people had a go at the EPP diamonds project. 

Hexagons are a common EPP project, but diamonds were new to lots of us.  

One of Lynda’s lockdown projects was to use the diamonds to make a quilt, but most people were happy to make a small mat! 

Show and tell was excellent, and it was clear that some people had used lockdown to finish off UFOs - way to go! Here is one of the Piecemakers strippy quilts put together in an imaginative way. 

Great use of drunkards path blocks. 

Some four season churn dash blocks from a Mary Mayne workshop. 

This is a Cowslip designs pattern, but the maker got a bit ‘daisied out’ so did her own thing in the border. 

Vicky made this fabulous quilt for her grandson.  Shows what happens when you give a young person the chance to choose their own pattern! 

Here is another ‘Hope Stars’ quilt.  I love the batik border. 

Another BOM quilt, with a dark background.  Stunning. 

One member was so disappointed not to do Jenny Raiments ‘Scrappy, sappy do’ workshop, that she bought the pattern and made it herself!  

A great use of toning fabrics. 

Another BOM, this time in a 9-patch arrangement.  

Here is another Piecemakers strippy quilt, our of the drawer and finished! 

This is a beautifully balanced medallion quilt.  I love the yellow and blue. 

Gaynor has been working on the EPP apple care quilt for quite a while, and was both delighted and relieved to finally finish it! 

This quilt is a surprisingly simple design which looks fabulous due to fabric selection.

 And last but not least, a reminder that Christmas comes round every year, and it’s never too soon to get ready!  

Our next meeting will be the AGM and 21st birthday party, complete with games and cake!  See you there!
