Catching Up

We had an excellent Sunday Sewday at Checkley Village Hall yesterday. A lovely atmosphere, plenty of chatter and many outbursts of laughter heard over the buzz of sewing machines working away, which makes everyone smile. Lunch received many scrumptious comments, though that's probably because our last Sunday Sewday was back in February and the ladies will have forgotten what a treat it is to be served lovely food. Thank you to Susan for bringing excellent cakes for us all.

 I'm very aware that you have been starved of quilting pictures for the best part of a month now. I just don't know where the time is going. We have had regular classes with lots going on, but not many photos!

Gail did finish her baby quilt in good time for gifting. It is a panel so only needed to be sandwiched and quilted and smothered in French Knots! Toot toot toot Gail for your fabulous, fast finish.

Rose has continued to work on her large quilt. All the centre panels are made and she's now making the borders ones which are half blocks and the corners will be quarter blocks, simples!

This is another toot toot toot opportunity for Gail. We aren't going to mention when Gail actually started with the applique, that wouldn't be very nice of me at all, I can only remember that it was before Covid restrictions!!! ooops! It's such a cute little wall hanging by Hatched and Patched

Judy started making this Christmas-sy quilt to use up her scraps of festive fabric. Needless to say a few further Fat Quarters were purchased along the way and the quilt has turned out to be rather large. Judy will have arm muscles like Popeye when the quilting is done!

Deb has finished her King Size Quilt and was so happy to have help holding it up for a picture. It's very heavy! Toot toot toot Deb, it's a fabulous finish

This is the fabric Deb chose for her backing, I LOVE IT!

Deb loves it too, which is way more important. Of course she declared that she's never going to make such a large quilt ever again. She will though, mark my words, ha!

The next thing on our Fun Agenda is our Pilgrimage to the Festival Of Quilts.
We're going on Sunday 4th August. I choose a Sunday because the car parks are free, traffic is usually lighter and the Quilt Show isn't usually too busy with others, so we get a good look at everything without being nudged about.
There are a few seats left on our coach. I will be closing the list on Wednesday 17th July as I'll need to get the tickets ordered and delivered to us in good time.
Cost is £36.00 pp which does include your return journey and show ticket.
