SWF Patchwork Pals - Friday 2 August 2024

-

 Phew what a scorcher!!  But it didn’t stop us crafting!!   (Or chatting!)




Joy was busy working on her Leafy quilt (pattern by Elizabeth Hartman).  She’s chosen to brighten hers up - and we can’t wait to see her progress.


Lyn is in full production mode making items for her 4 youngest grandchildren for Christmas.  This gorgeous cardi is for her grand-daughter, Primose.  A very apt colour.  She’s starting with the eldest/biggest down to the youngest in the hope that the smaller makes will go quicker!  


Germaine is continuing to work on her smocking piece - the embroidery is looking great!  


Sarah found this “work in progress” amongst her Nana’s sewing box.  She’s hoping to complete it as a gift for her Mum.  That’s assuming she can make head or tail of the epic instructions that came with the kit!  Good luck Sarah!!


Pat has made a start on another gilet.  She’s lined it with winceyette so it’ll be nice and warm in the autumn/winter.  If anyone would like to make their own, please let Pat know and you can borrow the pattern.

Everyone else was busy working away.  Sandy brought cake to celebrate her “special” birthday - Happy Birthday Sandy!   Her and Val were putting together quilt pieces that they had inherited.

Sharon was continuing to work on her quilt and Juliette was making another blind.  Jenny had just started another cross stitch piece - but the 36 count linen was proving to be a challenge!

 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...
