SWF Patchwork Pals - Friday 7 February 2025

-

We had a good meet up today - great to see more people back after the Christmas/New Year break.  Everyone “seemed” to be quite productive - even if it was a bit nippy in the hall.


Marillyn had made this beautiful hanging decoration - it even lights up!  


She’s now busy making this charity quilt using donated fabrics.


Joy had made this raw edge appliqué “flowers in a vase” from a pattern in a magazine. And whilst it looks 3D, it does lay flat so she’s going to post it to her friend.  What a lovely gift!  


Joy is now working on this Crafter’s Carry-All bag - which apparently (and I quote) “is just a load of squares and rectangles sewn together”!  It’s looks a bit more complicated than that!!  


It was great to see Lyn - and she’s been busy knitting up this hoodie - although she assures us it’s not for her!  It’s a beautiful colour - so I’m sure the recipient will love it.


Germaine was busy working away on her next lot of projects - this will eventually be a kimono.  Can’t wait to see it all come together - especially as she’s got some beautiful patterned fabric to incorporate into it.  


Sharon has nearly completed this quilt - it looks more fabulous every month.  


Juliet was cutting out panels for her quilted bag project.  The fabric is gorgeous!!   She also wants to have a go at the Crafter’s Carry All bag that Joy is making - good luck Juliet!  


Pat continued working on this panel with some embroidery stitches.  She’s still undecided as to whether it will be a wall panel or a cushion cover!!  Watch this space.   

Sarah and Jenny were getting on with their latest embroidery and cross stitch projects!  

And the best thing about today - we didn’t have to pack away as the Saturday group are meeting tomorrow!!

 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...

SWF Patchwork Pals - Saturday 8 November 2025

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...
