Fabulous meeting (except the temperature!)

 Now, I know that it is cold in February, but I’m afraid the room, which is usually fine, never warmed up this meeting.  Everyone sat in their coats, despite the heaters being obviously working.  Never mind, we had a great speaker, so it was worth a little discomfort! 

Lizzi Wall trained at art college, and her quilts show a masterful use of colour and designs.  Her talk was ‘My quilts and other animals’ as she takes inspiration from wildlife she encounters on her walks. 


She looks a bit concerned here, showing this splendid hare, but I can assure you that her style was friendly and amusing, and her work was fabulous! 


Other animals she showed were chickens, hedgehogs and chickens.  Stunning! 


As you can see, she brought lots of wonderful stuff for us to drool over (not literally!). 

Show and tell was sparse.  Come on ladies, I’m sure you’ll haven’t been idle recently, you know we love seeing your work and never judge!  Although the quality was of its usual excellent standard the quantity was disappointing. 


This was a ufo, finished by Janet.  Such lovely rich colours.


This is also one of Janet’s.  It is for a family present.  You could just get lost inside it! 

Lastly, here is one of Gwyneth’s designs.  It is for a young man who has joined their family, and I’m certain he will love it!
