SWF Patchwork Pals - Saturday 13 December 2025

-

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 looking fabulous!!



So that just leaves us to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy New Year.


We meet again on Friday 9th January, Sat 10th January and Weds 28th January.  


We have a Special “Day” Event on Saturday 24th January from 10-4pm (bring your own lunch).  Please let Pat (Robson) know if you are going.  Pat is happy to organise a little project or you can take your own WIPs.

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...
