Charity projects are up and running.

As a group, we ladies at the hall love a 

challenge. Mine for this year (and should be 

fore ever) to use up scraps. This doesn't

always work well for me. I start with a 

bag of scraps, cut up and use some, then

 there seems to be a bigger pile. Some of 

the ladies are knitting hats, for the smoothies.

Others are playing with the Accuquilt we 

have bought. Lovely flying geese and hearts

dies.  Charity play mats  and quilts being made

and any left overs we donate to a recycling

group in  Fenton. The days start with lots 

of chatter and new ideas, then we start to

play. Such a privilege to sew with friends.

Jenny has made this play mat for charity.
The fabric is so colourful any kiddie
will love it.

This is one of 2 quilts made by Annette.
They are to be sent to USA for a niece.
They have been quilted at the
Trading post at Woore, So beautiful
and reasonably priced for a special
gift.

Another of Annette's quilts, so cute with
 the dollies and  cakes, typical 50's prints.
I remember having a doll like these,
 I think they were called Cupie dolls.

With another visit to the far east due Chris
 is busy sewing a size chart for Baby Thea.
She quickly pinned and bagged it. Then
started to quilt it. a very "in" print with
the lovely Foxes and Owls.

Irene has made this raw edge quilt. It was
 cut on her new Accuquilt machine. All the
edges are about a 1/4 in tiny cuts, when
washed they will become Chenille type fabric.

More of the hats, Beryl and Marissabel were
 making these, Then Marissabel continued to
quilt her lovely fishy quilt. Sorry I didn't get
a pic , I will this week.

This is one of Beryls journals, the
reason she does these "just because"
These contain so much technical
art work. Also they reflect how you
cope with everyday and get things
into respective. The cover is layered
fabrics and threads, over stitched and
secured with voiles. The paintings
are multi media too.

Iv'e read that many celebrities hang
upside down to relieve stress, not one I
will attempt .
