Friday this week, was a sandwich making day again. All part of the excellent customer service I like to offer, saving your back and your knees from el mucho pain-o. In between sandwich making and shop customers I was able to do a lot of I was sorting out in my Christmas Corner. It's a very popular corner this week and the Fat Quarters all needed topping up, I still haven't finished cutting the Fat Quarters but I did find a couple of bolts of fabric that I had hidden behind the shelves. In particular, Advent Panels. I have way too many for a little Christmas Corner. More on that later, and it might be interesting.
We have a new victim, Jackie. She's been well and truly infected by the Quilting Bug. After only one day learning the basics of patchwork and quilting, she's hooked. This happened easily while making this lovely cushion. Toot toot toot Jackie, fabulous and finished projects receive a trumpet fanfare.
The same thing happened with Sue. After making her first beginner cushion, she went on to make one for everyone she knows. For a few weeks now though, Sue has been beavering away making Log Cabin blocks. This week the blocks were all joined together and a new quilt top was almost done. We will add the borders next week.
Our Judy does lots of sewing for charitable causes. Next week, in this little market town of Cheadle, it's the big Light switch on event. Lots of charities use the day to raise funds, it's a lovey event. Judy has been making festive coasters to donate to Home Link's fundraising. Don't they look great presented this way. Perfect little gifts made from Judy's left over festive fabrics.
Shirley had made this lovely quilt top a while ago and had put it to one side. It can be a bit daunting to have too many sandwiches waiting to be quilted, there's less pressure caused by a folded up top! Anyway, now it's time to quilt this one so the deed has been done.
Deb says her puppy quilt inspired by Prue Leith. Obviously she means their spectacles. How cool are those frames! One quilt top completed and ready to be sandwiched. But for now Deb is working on her Snowman Collector blocks. I'll get pictures of those next time.
And Taaaa Daaah
Finished, but no label yet.
My very own quilt is toot toot toot ready.
Hanging on the classroom wall to inspire you!
Another little reminder about Checkley Sunday Sewday on 24th November. I have quite a few names on my list with payment pending. It's just £20.00 for the day, when you pay in advance (this includes refreshments and your lunch) but it's £25.00 to pay on the day.
I'm very sorry that payment is not refundable for any cancellations made once all the catering supplies have been purchased, which is usually on the Wednesday before a sewday.
Happy stitching xx
