SWF Patchwork Pals - Saturday 24 January 2025

-

We held a special extra day full of crafting for those that fancied it!  You could either bring your own project or one would be suggested.  

Pat suggested the Heart Cushions - which have been a great comfort to so many.  

The day was well attended - and as you can see from the photographs below (from our roving reporter, Joy) a very productive day was had.


This was made by Julie.


Carole finished her Rainy Days cushion panel.  Zoom in to see all the beautiful hand stitching.


Sarah is planning on surrounding her heart with smaller hearts.


Joy plans to quilt some hearts in the background.


Anne made a beautiful red heart - she’s currently planning what border to put round it.


This was Rachel’s first attempt at making anything like this - she did a great job.

Another Special Saturday will be held in a couple of months - watch this space for the next project!

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...
