Lone Star Quilt Workshop



Morning All,

Well back to the dreary weather again I'm afraid ..... fog this morning - couldn't even see Stonehenge from the road this morning on my way in, which is very unusual.  Anyway enough of that - we had a Lone Star workshop upstairs in the classroom on Saturday.  I have a number of ladies who have been coming along to classes for a few years now who were looking for a challenge - well, I think I gave them that.  It was a bit of sweatshop up there by the end but they were all up to the challenge.  Our biggest problem was bias edges and they did cause us a few problems along the way despite liberal amounts of spray starch!  But the results - Wow.......

 Alisons:

Lorinda's

Ellens:

 Bea's:

 Viv's:

 Leah's:

 Patricia's:

 Sue's:

I think that was everyone.  Don't they look amazing?  Sue's is complete because I took that photo a couple of days later.  Everyone managed to get at least four diamonds made on the day, which was brilliant.  Now to find something else for them.......

Helga's Jumpers

These wonderful jumpers are the creation of Helga, one of our regular wool customers.  These are both made using Stylecraft 4 ply in a traditional Norwegian style.  I can report that the back is almost as neat as the front!  They are the sort of jumper you just snuggle into with a roaring fire and a good book.

Bit of a catch up post this one.  I have got a bit behind with some of the club photos.  This is Kathleens lovely twist and turn cushion that she made with Jennie Rayment. 

This is Kathryn's tumbler quilt.  We were doing table runners but Kathryn decided to make a lap size quilt with hers.

We have been doing some scrap management in our Patchwork Clubs and this is Jenny's.  She made a lovely cushion and used one of her Mother's buttons for the centre. 

The next two are Maureen's.  Maureen is amazing, she seems to sew from morning to night and produces fantastic results.



Well that's all for now folks - more to come.
