There was a good crowd at the All Comers day at the Vintage Car Club rooms on Saturday. Most stayed for the full day, and several could manage a half day only. It was great to so many happy faces and amongst all the chatter, we all seemed to be working well on our own projects.
Margaret was working on a free motion zig zag stitch pansy, and we thought that was a very clever technique indeed. She learnt this at T&C member Faye’s classes held Fox’s Cottage, and showed us other blocks she had done in the classes, including the crazy patch block with fancy machine stitches.

Kath had also recently attended a class – which certainly sounded like fun. This was all about fabric dying, run by Bobby Duncan. She had brought along her samples to show us, there were lots of lovely fabrics in amazing colours.

Annette was another who had brought along several projects. I loved the Christmas stitchery – still a work in progress, but coming along well. Nothing says “Christmas” like a redwork Santa, I feel.

Her other project was a very pretty version of “Patchwork of the Crosses”
Madalyn’s Daily Dot is coming along well. Such tiny blocks, I don’t know how she manages. But she showed us something new which I had never seen before – some double pronged pins which are useful when stitching the small blocks together.
