Lynda Monk vessel - at last

At last - a picture of my Lynda Monk vessel. Have to confess I did finish it a couple of weeks ago, just forgot to take a pic!







Have also finished my rockpool, now waiting for 'him down the shed' to finish the frame...

More from Patricia's Patchers

Patricia (for whom our group is named, she started it) came to see us last week, and she is still quilting. This is her latest.



Ena had been to a ribbon embroidery workshop




Catherine has made a quilt for 'Help for Heroes'. It is being raffled at a special fund raising evening at Tattersalls. Some of the green fabric was dyed at a workshop many years ago, she was glad to use it at last!



We have made a small start on a 'group quilt', all blue squares, for the victims of the Chernobyl  fiasco - 25 years on and they are still suffering and in need of our help.

Gina Ferrari Workshop

Attended a really good Gina Ferrari workshop today with the 4S ladies, entitled Shimmering Sheers. We made, and mostly, finished a dinky little gift bag. The technique can also be used to make a cushion, book cover, panel for larger bag etc




We also made the flowers to go on the bags, plus some other samples, and I made a small start on a bracelet. I now have the horrible task of putting away all the bits and pieces, I ALWAYS take far more than I need...
I will need to type my notes up pretty soon too, or else I shall forget what we did!

Here is a slightly better picture
