Bittersweet in Fulham


Given EL's impeding move and her immobility due to a recent ankle operation, the Quirkies packed up and came to Fulham.  With the forecast of possible snow, all were well prepared.







 
After the usual catch up and a cup of tea, we all got down to our projects.  CB and HW are doing ripple blankets and who's to say there is a competition, although CB is determined HW won't finish before her ... watch this space for the race!

The rest of us continue to try and make a dent in our pile of UFO's . . .

EL worked boringly (so no picture) on cutting out 16 x 9 different pieces for the Dahlia quilt, whilst we were distracted by visitors outside - annoyingly CB forgot her camera, but HW came to the rescue.
HS shared her lovely dollie quilt which is inspiring EL ... who made the most of her last Quirky meeting to ask lots and lots and lots of questions.
 
After a lovely lunch (on which EL and hubby feasted for 2 more meals!), AB PROVED SHE CAN CROCHET.  The Quirkies ended the day by wishing EL the best for her move and giving her a knitted likeness to share her adventures and send back blog posts!  With such laughter, fun and quilting support, EL will miss them all.
