Ruth 's table... she makes me smile you know... each of these blocks is cut to give exactly the right amount of bits, one each of 6 colours for each block... fool proof!... Ruth makes up each block set and has left over bits.... we have no clue how or why she has left over bits, she just does is all....
Helen gave me a ticking off for turning her project into a race with Dotty Maureen, who brought in her project finished, sandwiched, quilted and bound! Sorry Helen!... she is still enjoying it though, working with all the fancy stitches...
Gilly Had completed all of her blocks but there were a few little adjustments needed, this is one patient lady.... a lot of people would have left them as were and lost the pointy points, it will all be worth it though...
Dotty Maureen is designing her own pattern this time. As you can see, she's cut up her Clarice Cliff fabrics to use, each square will be bordered cleverly to look like chain links...
Arty Beryl was telling me how much she is loving her Janome machine, she says it's absolutely perfect for her.... she made a sandwich first of all, then bought the wadding for two more quilts that are almost ready, then set to on another Scrappy Bargello, I think it's safe to say that she has joined us on the "Dark Side"... 
Annie Pie quilted this whole quilt but forgot to put the walking foot on her machine... really, we should thank her for that as I was able to show everyone what happens when we quilt without a walking foot... I don't think Annie Pie will forget again any time soon... and hopefully the ladies will share her lesson.
Joan The Shop is loosening up! ha ha ha... she's really enjoying doing the free motion quilting, the more she does the more freely she can do it. She started off with tiny, little stippling and now she's doing small to medium size.. Kate calls this 'being loose'!! This quilt will have double sided binding added on Friday this week.
Lizi stitched the binding onto her huge quilt. She stitched it to the back because she will, very carefully, machine stitch it to finish... hand sewing just doesn't appeal to everyone and that's just fine....
Maid Marion popped in for a little creative meeting.. she wants to use up the fabrics she has left over from the top to make the backing, this is one of my most favourite things to play with!
Shirley Lerly will also machine stitch her bindings, both sides... here, she is joining her binding ends using the very, very clever method... the Brilliant Binding, the tutorial for which is here
Foxy Margaret is making a PMS quilt... that's a Please My Self quilt. The centre is a table runner pattern, with personal adjustments... the outer part is made up of 5" half square triangles so we had to calculate the coping strip... very clever maths!
We meet again on Friday 11th February, 10am - 3pm at Caverswall Village Hall, and you are very welcome to come and join in the fun.

Tell Annie Pie she isn't alone. I quilted my last quilt with the 1/4" foot. Couldn't figure out why it kept getting pleats in the top. After it was done, one of the other ladies heard me complaining and asked, "Did you use the walking foot?" Gee, what a concept.
