Our own bag lady

 This month we were delighted that Jacquie was able to show us some of the bags she has made.  She thoroughly enjoys making different projects and has Curver boxes full of her creations.  


Here you can see how many bags she had!  She was honest in praising some pattern writers’ skills, and pointing out those who weren’t so clear!  She also told us which bags were useful, and which not so much. 


She was also generous at sharing the tips and methods she used to make the bags. She certainly gave us all plenty to think about, and I expect we will have some bags coming to show and tell next month! 


The raffle had some scrumptious prizes.  Sadly, I didn’t win one. 


Show and tell this time was a bonanza for Project Linus.  This one was made by Chris using up 2.5” squares.  I love the green binding. 


Ruth can’t come to meetings at the moment, as her husband is poorly, but she sent a pile of Linus quilts instead.  This is simple but stylish. 


This one is a stunning colourway. 


Blocks on point always look interesting. 

 This quilt has leopards in all the squares - ideal for an animal lover. 


And finally Pam’s efforts at the Vendulka Battais workshop.   Beautiful colours and impressive hand embroidery.
