November 2016

A well attended meeting with a full house of members. There was quite a variety of work being done, with lots of chat and catching up with life's trials and tribulations.

HW decided to do some more work on the Infinity squares we started at a workshop we all attended in the summer. It is coming along but does require concentration. We seem to have a lot of strips cut and are trying to decide whether we should make bigger quilts, or keep to 12 blocks.

CB was working on a brightly coloured Corner to Corner crocheted blanket. This is a lovely pattern, several of us have made one or two over the past year or so. This one may be destined to check out the suitability of selling one-off craft items on the web. This idea is in it's infancy, it has given us a lot of food for thought!

Another project on the go is a Christmas present for our Secret Santa, I don't think this picture gives the game away. It is looking good and nearly finished before going home, plus - all done without a pattern.

CD was working on Project Linus T-shirt quilts as Christmas is coming up and there is always a bigger demand for them. One down and three to go!

AB attempted to get her beach bag finished, holiday has been and gone but it may be ready for the next one. She went back to crochet practice after lunch, plenty of time to finish beach bag before next holiday.

Lunch is always looked forward to with anticipation. This time we had Cauliflower cheese soup and bread, with apple tart tatin and cream for dessert. All of it homemade and delicious.

After lunch it was back to work until tea and cake with the birthday presents and a round of Happy Birthday. EL in Florida joined us for this via Face time, then she was off to help hang some Christmas lights on a Lighthouse (only in America!)

Happy Birthday

Another productive day crafting, already looking forward to the next one.
