30 April

 We had a lively group tonight with lots of interaction. Some varied skills on display, some knitting, some sewing and some cross stitch.

A reminder that there is a Sit and Sew Day on Sunday, all welcome. 

Diane has managed to complete a beautiful Chandelier quilt. She continues to use her scraps to make her quilts.

Hong brought along her lovely jacket which she has enhanced. She purchased the applique and used a Japanese skill surrounded by chain stitch.

Sheila has been busy since February making a bookcase quilt for a 21st birthday present. The lace on the bottom belonged to the recipients grandmother. She wanted books for her birthday so that is what she got.

Sheila attended a reverse applique workshop and put her new skills into practice to make this table runner.

 

The group has a new email address: ssandq@outlook.com

On the 15th May this happy group met to enjoy time away from sewing although sewing was discussed! A fun night with lots of companionship and laughter

 

While we didn’t have any show and tell we had some work in progress to show.
