PATCHWORK PALS

 

We turned out in force on Saturday for the last meeting of 2025.  A lovely lunch with mince pies and coffee, enjoyed by all!  Didn’t get pictures of everyone’s work as not all were in a state for photographing, being “Works In Progress”! Marleen was having fun with her dolls dress, whilst having a bit of a problem with the number of stitches.  Hopefully, she now has it sorted! Carole was playing with this Spring Rainy Day picture, ready for our next Trail? Sue Edwards was working on a new Crewel Embroidery project, it’s looking lovely already! Sheila is working on Dogs in Sweaters, can’t wait to see it finished! Gill has put this part of her project together.  Not sure how many of them there are or if she is building on this one - watch this space! Anne was making this beautiful table runner.  She’s hoping to shorten it as it’s too long for her table. Rachel is putting all those hexagons together, all by hand!  Mammoth task, but she is winning and it’s look...

We had Dasher, and Dancer, and Prancer and Vixen, Comet and Cupid, and Donner and Blitzen - but do you recall, the most famous reindeer of all!?!?   Today was all about the reindeer - with a few Santas, horses and a random donkey/camel thrown in for good measure.  Well done to everyone who made one - they look fantastic.  Joy finished her colourful embroidery piece.  She’s going to frame it - and then decide what she’s going to work on next. Marillyn brought in a couple of projects that she’s been working on - they are spectacular as always. Sharon B was cutting out a very interesting and challenging fabric to make a skirt - look forward to seeing that in the New Year.  Sharon J was knitting things for her wreath.  Jenny was finishing up some crocheted ornaments.  Michele and Pat were in deep Sizzix discussions.   Juliet was knitting up a storm.   We followed our crafting morning with our Christmas lunch - which was delicious as always. ...
