Caverswall Quilt Cave

All photos were taken as ladies started packing up time.  Just in the very 'nick of time' I remembered the camera... too late for most projects, darn...
Late Sue's Pineapple Blossom quilt top is sort of complete, isn't it wonderful! Sue is very happy with the way it turned out.....

Sue has 96 Bonus Half Square Triangles left over from the pineapple blocks and she's decided to add another border to use them up. As we saw with Barbies Pineapple Blossom quilt, it looks great with the Saw Tooth borders... the best bit about working in groups, in my opinion, is inspiring other folks with your very own projects... Sue had lots of squaring up to do...

Helen was back on the learning curve... new blocks and I think she will need 4 of these. I'm not sure whether Dotty had done this block because Helen was left to figure it out for her very own self... of course I helped a little bit... a very little bit actually, by George we got it though,

Maid Marion was watching closely to see how we solved the mystery for the new block, soaking up all the top tips as usual... she was working on this centre piece.. she didn't like it at all at first, wasn't going to do it, thought she might as well have a go at doing it, had a go, sort of liked it... going to keep it... actually, quite liked it. Spread that out all day and there you have Maid Marion's decision making process! he he he

Brenda Barbara is cracking on with her 10 Minute Block lap quilt... having her very own Quilty Quarters means she can pop in to stitch at every opportunity... when you have to clear the dining table for the family and then get stuff out again, it becomes a bit of a chore, we all have to do it that's true, but every now and again some of us are fortunate enough to have a special place which means we just shut the door and walk away, do what you have to do then return and carry right on with what you were doing... such a luxury! Brenda was free motion quilting all, all, all day!
We meet again next week, Wednesday 25th and Friday 27th January.
So many new fabrics arrived that I might have to re-name Table Top Shop and call is "Table Top & Under Shop with a bit over there and some in the van".. ha ha ha Building stock ready for the 'real' shop is proving to be very much fun... blooming hard work humping it all in and out of the Big Shiny White Van though... phew!

Love the pineapple quilts on this and the last post. The edges around the cathedral window type thingys make them look like stained glass. Lovely. Marion's centrepiece is lovely too, glad she decided to keep it.
