SWF Patchwork Pals - Friday 6 February 2026

-

There was a lovely buzz of chat and stitching.

Pat demonstrated a new pattern of interlocking circles – looked like magic to me- Sharon worked hard on it and was completing a fabulous example (not pictured).  Pat would be happy to share this with anyone who is interested.

 


Also shown here are Sharon’s lovely make up pouches:

 


Joy brought in the beautiful heart cushion completed following the Saturday workshop:

 



Sandy and Val were working together to cut out William Morris fabrics to complete these blocks:

 


Pat spoke to the group about a future Sewing Art Trail for South Woodham Ferrers but looking at this happening in Spring 2027, to give plenty of time to plan and create.

 

Germaine would also like to thank those who were able to come to Barleylands to look at the Minerva Exhibition, the next one will open on 5th December.
