Finishes

On Tuesdays is our small craft group which meets in the local church..... great venue - I am often child-minding grandie#4 (22 months) and he has a wonderful time kicking the ball and driving cars through the pews whilst we stitch and chat.

We are often looking for things to learn and make and this year I suggested a stitchery quilt which could then be made into a wall-hanging for the church

an appropriate BOM from last year HERE was used

(Paula has a lovely Home Sweet Home stitchery this year)

There was an existing box of scraps and we were determined to use them up

Different people made up the patches and I sewed it together - using entirely what they had available except for the wadding

A group effort is rather fun

This is a finished Christmas Item - which is a UFO from 2 years ago

I made the holly block when I was practicing machine applique using 'invisible thread'

and had the fabric ready cut

a bit of piecing and quilting

The finches seem happy to see in the Autumn

there are 29 in these branchs over the bird-feeder

 there were lots more in the bath and at the seeds on the ground

I never get tired of watching them

Hope you can watch some happiness this week
