CB brought along some crochet that she was having trouble with, the problem was solved quickly with HW's help. CB was then ready to get on with her wholecloth quilt.
AB finished her hand quilting project from a workshop she attended last year, and started a small project making a 'space' for a banner to hang at an exhibition for the quilting group she goes to on a Monday evening.
EL was working on a hand quilted cushion to go with a quilt she has made for her sofa, using a lovely batik fabric.
HT was hemming a pair of curtains for a bedroom.
HT brought along the pretty baby quilt she had been working on last year to show us.
CD was hand quilting a wall hanging (for the same exhibition as AB's 'space'). It is for the Myths and legends category and shows a Griffin. The fabric is hand dyed and printed from a series of workshops she is taking following on from her City and Guilds course.
HW was working on a long term project of hand appliqued 20 inch blocks, this will be a stunning quilt when finished and well worth taking time over.
Throughout the day we drank quite a lot of tea and tried not to overdo the eating as it was so soon after the excesses of Christmas. We had HW's delicious beef and Guiness soup with CD's homemade bread followed by fresh fruit.
Despite the absence of cake we had another brilliant day sewing, chatting and eating. Thank you HW and family for your hospitality.
Excellent Post!!! Did make me laugh - would like to do a PS. Crochet was HW which had a problem which CB sorted!!!! But I would say it is unusal - normally it is me that has a problem that HW sorts out!!! xx
ReplyDeleteI'd like to protest - I have far more problems - particularly hooky ones that you have a knack of solving
