What a lovely hall the committee has found for our future Allcomers Days. The Vintage Car Club was cozy and warm, with lovely carpet underfoot, and good kitchen facilities for making our cuppas. Some hardy souls braved the rather wet conditions for a day of sewing and companionship. There was plenty of room, and we could have accommodated many more club members.
Several had attended the recent Anna Williams workshop and were busy working on attaching their bias Celtic swirls and circles. Lynne demonstrated how to make bias tape pulling the fabric underneath a pin and pressing the strip with a tiny iron.
Others were working on their own projects. Such as Madalyn’s Daily Dot quilt, designed by Susan Clair. At one dot for each day of the year, this is a huge undertaking.
Susan was still working on the Bookcase quilt she is making for her daughter, and had some blocks to show, including one with a hand stitched spider web!
I could only manage half a day stitching time – with visitors due the next day I needed to get back home and prepare food for them. But I was pleased with my morning’s work, and it’s always so nice to stitch with others. Do consider coming along to join in next month, there is plenty of room for everyone.
