Caverswall Quilt Cave
Joan The Shop has been working in top gear for days now. Just because I mentioned to her that I didn't think she would get this quilt finished by the end of April... 'twas a cunning plan of mine you see... she's going to put me in my place by doing just that, probably with time to spare! We had the borders cut today, the backing is in planning stage, but it will be simple (? This is Joan you know) ... we could be making a sandwich on Friday... 
Chris The Foot, also working in top gear, has her Railfence baby quilt top almost done.. just a few perfect borders to add... that should be another sandwich for our Friday meeting, Fridays are the best days for making sandwiches actually... there are more tables to spare you see. 
Ruth was able to join up almost all of her stained glass blocks... only to find out that she is going to need 6 more of them, still, she is starting to "get" how it works by now, he he he, it's going to be a large double size and will be sent away for professional quilting... unless I can persuade her otherwise... 
Arty Beryl had a great day as she was doing her most favourite thing... piecing crazily with beautiful scraps of all sorts of fabrics, see how her blouse co-ordinates with her work? well, it didn't with the yellow block... I have good timing, ha ha ha (Happy Birthday Beryl, thanks for the Maltesers!!) 
Gilly cut another load of holes in her curtains... just to get all the good flowery bits!!... looked like she has a rather large Moth infestation... it was well worth all of the the fussy cutting... this Garden Trellis looks lovely... 
Foxy Margaret is making a bag... with beautiful colours (as she kept telling us!), one of the lazy Girl patterns... I am totally rubbish at bag making, and I don't mind saying so! so Dotty Maureen stepped in to help.. she is our bag making genius! She kept Margaret on track and all is nearly finished. Margaret had a go at crumb pieceing too... she loves the scrappy fun of them! 
Maggie, had made a piano key border for this project but changed her mind after auditioning it... now there will be 2 1/2" squares round the edge, all carefully calculated so that the dark browns landed next to a pale beige... her quilt so she can if she wants! a little tricky, but she did it. 
My Mum, Gwynneth, is adding borders to her quilt now. It's going to be a wall quilt, long ways over the bed... she's been asking me to make one for her for years... looks like she got fed up of waiting, he he. We meet again on Friday 8th April, 10am - 3pm
