I'm back at last.

It has been a long time since I worked on this 

blog, I've almost forgotten how. I had a big birthday

at the beginning of the year and haven't been well 

since. The dreaded lurgy took over my whole system

and continued until this week. I'm back to my sewing

and still trying to finish projects, far too many for

comfort. We visited Uttoxeter show in April, not

 the roaring success it should have been maybe

because of the weather or the timing. Needless to 

say money was spent and new projects started

resulting in another pile of ufo's.

This quilt has been made by Val, I think its for her sofa
to save from head marks,( I hope I'm right)

These are the beginnings of a wall hanging
by arty Beryl, stitched onto velvet samples.
Using many techniques as per usual for Beryl.

As these pics have been taken over quite a period
this cushion could well be finished by now.
Margaret has been working on this, a prototype
cushion from a previous flag quilt made by Annie pie.

Joey has just started to quilt with us, this is a cushion for
one of her grand children.

The ladies have been knitting Innocence hats, till last week they
had made 200. Also 200 at Christmas. each one gets 25p
for the charity.

This vintage twin pram has been renovated by Marion,
her great grand daughter was so proud to show us all,
especially as she had arrived in grannies special car.
Marion rides a bike so the car has a hoist in the back.
This day it contained a special pram, the quilts below were
in the pram also.

This doll will possibly be finished by now, another gift
for a little girl in the far east. Chris was on a mission
to complete before her next visit some time now.

Paper pieced ie:-stitch and flip onto a4 portrait way. Cut in 2
length ways and the plain colour stitched to form a tube.
Then cut into triangles. Magic.

Uttoxeter charm purchase  Kaffe Fasset, this will
be a charity quilt.

and again this time a Robert Kaufman set, really
oriental

This was a small plastic bag of scraps from Linus stand.
The cost £3-00. As you must know by now, some one
elses scraps are always desirable( as if we haven't
enough of our own)

A variation from a recent quilt book, using all scraps.
I empted a draw to make this. Mostly the fabrics left
from previous quilts.

Another lap quilt made from scraps from other quilts, almost
finished just the hand sewing to do. That means the last
6 quilts are all mine to finish.(besides all the others that are
hanging on the bedroom door.)
