31st May at Eleanor's

Quite a little crowd gathered at Eleanor's house this morning: Claire, Heather, Judy, Carolyn, Sue, Towse, Elaine (welcome to a new sewing buddy), Hilary and as a result there was a hive of activity!
Towse took quite a lot of pictures as Debs has asked to see how some of our Sampler Quilts have turned out and another sewing buddy has asked to see some close ups of what we are all up to.

So I'm going to let the pictures do the talking. First, here are some of our completed (and almost completed) samplers from our course with Plainstitch Deb last Autumn:

Eleanor has also used a couple of these blocks to make a Christmas Table Runner:

Seeing this also gave us the opportunity to explore Eleanor's stash! She promises there are only two shelves - at least at the moment!

There was a whole mixture of activities going on. Carolyn had even brought knitting!

Heather has a variety of projects on the go ....

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hilary is doing the Modern Applique with Debs:

 

Towse thinks she has made some fabric selections for Deb's Farmer's Wife Quilt class starting in the Autumn...

 

 

New sewing buddy Elaine ....Towse met her at the first Wendover Sewing Bee ...

 

 

But the BIG NEWS is that Judy is very close to opening her own shop in Thame. The shop is currently being fitted out and she hopes to be open for the end of June. So watch this space for details...

 

Next session is likely to be hosted by Sue in July. She will email everyone with details.
