SWF Patchwork Pals - Friday 7 June 2024

-

Not so many of us this Friday - holiday season, cars needing servicing and a bowling injury!!  

But for those that were there, it was a morning of “helping” - or brainstorming.


Sharon was adding some beautiful butterflies (donated by another member) to her quilt.  She’s now just got to attach them all.



Lyn was busy getting ready for an imminent arrival!!



And so was Joy!  


Germaine was working on her Assyrian piece.  Although she probably wished she hadn’t asked Joy and Jenny for their opinions!!  Gold was the answer!!  


Jenny also gave Pat some assistance with her crochet granny square which is coming along nicely!!  Practice makes perfect!!  

Pat and Sharon were helping Juliet with some cutting out - sorry I didn’t get a picture!  Maybe we’ll get one of the finished article!

SWF Patchwork Pals - Friday 6 June 2025

 Only a few of us today - we missed those who couldn’t make it.  It was nice to catch up and see what everyone had been working on. The Allotment group quilt is now complete.  There was much discussion about the best way to quilt it to really bring the produce to life.  Watch this space. Sandy and Val have been working on this William Morris quilt.  Val had sewn all the pieces together - and Sandy hand quilted it.  Yes - HAND QUILTED!!   The back is a work of art as much as the front. Sharon had made this beautiful purse/bag - which had lovely Japanese inspired fabric for the lining. She was also working on a couple of summer skirts.  Hopefully she’ll be modelling one at the next meet up. Sandy had also been working on her basket quilt.  But she’d got bored of baskets and had branched out into flowers and hearts.  It’s going to look amazing when it’s all put together. Germaine made a start on her Bayeux tapestry-inspired piece.  Not...

We had a lot of completed “show and tell” items this month.  Lots were for the “I Spy Trail” that takes place on Sat 22 November around SWF when the Xmas lights are turned on.  The I Spy Trail items will be going into different shops and a leaflet is being made up for those on the hunt! Sue Edwards has finally managed to frame all her Spring, Summer, Autum and Winter embroideries.  They look absolutely fabulous and so realistic, a true work of Art!  Julie finished her workshop cushion, 90 degree triangles.  It looks brilliant and so cheerful!  Julie has decorated a pair of wellies with patchwork ready for part of the I Spy trail!  They look such fun. Pat Robson did these boots!  Took a lot longer than expected, but again, great fun (although Pat did get very sticky fingers!) Pat has had her Cockerill framed, such an unusual frame, but so effective with gold distressing on the edges too.  Love the lock, key and hinges, brilliant touch!  T...
