Made in February.....

The very last day of February for our monthly meeting, who can believe it's March tomorrow..... a very productive day for all the QQ, with belated birthday wishes and face time with the USA!

Starting the day, as we always do with Show and Tell - CD being very productive....  Not one but two Christmas Wreaths - both completely different but both wonderful...



A Parliament of Owls......for the fund raising pile at QoS.  These should 'fly' off the table....


Morning activities saw a whole host of projects under way....

Joining the north country quilt from the Lilian Headley course for HW - five strips completed - with perhaps two or four more needed.


Another stripe for CD from the same course.....


Some crochet practice for AB.....


Bunting calculations for HS.... 10", 8" or 6".......


And Quilting Stilettos for the fund raising pile for QoS from CB.....


Lunch was a whole group effort this week.....pumpkin and chorizo soup (a successful alteration of this recipe - no sweet potato but a massive pumpkin in stead!), home made bread, fruit tarts (comic relief style and a surprise ingredient for the maker) and home made birthday cake for afternoon tea.

 

  

After a good catchup with our missing USA QQ, gift giving and the blowing out of candles .... can you guess the birthday girls favourite colour???


The afternoon was equally productive....

Bunting size decided on, design decided on - cutting - in large volumes commenced..... 


Five strips connected on the front - looking stunning....


More fund raising items for QoS - brooches and gift tags..... 


And even Tunisian crochet..... didn't get an image of that one  #failedagain!

Another great day.... another productive day - and not long till the next one!
