21 September 2019

Show and Tell... there wasn't a lot of Show today but what we have is pretty fantasmorgorigal!

 I made this Raggy quilt using up all sorts of flannel scraps in my sewing room as well as left over wadding from lots of quilts... I am donating it somewhere along with a couple of others I'm yet to finish... lovely and cosy these quilts are, I always have one on my knees while sewing or knitting at night in front of the telly 😇

 WOW!  Just look at this quilt, made by Glynis using old jeans of her fathers, it is heavy but what an absolute beauty!   😲😲😲

 Maggie's beautiful stitchery is all finished but... she is in a bit of a dilemma... should she replace the error she has made in the top row... or should she just leave it??  Your advice would be gratefully received 😀😀😀

What a lovely lot of SCQuilters we are eh!!  Lots of fun!

The Penno Pub does serve some seriously delish meals...

 Duck Salad with Onion above and without onion below 😋😋

 Lamb Salad 😋
 Pretzel 😋
 Two Crispy Squid Salad 😋😋

 Bruschetta 😋

 Caesar and Chicken Salad 😋

 Chicken and Chips 😋

 Uuuummmmm... I wonder what this was??  looks delish though 😋

Chocolate Brownie with a cup of tea 😋😋

It was a lovely, happy, chatty and delicious day at the Pennant Hills Pub today.

 Isn't this a little cutie made and given to Maggie by her SIL Jan 😊  I love it!

 I'm still knitting this old thing, it's the 6th time I've knitted a jumper using this pattern, the first time in 1967 and the last time will be when I've finished this one!!!!!  😠

 Wow!  This crochet of Maggie's is amazing, all done with very fine sock wool  😮

 Lissa was crocheting this enormous and very heavy shawl, its sure to keep her warm... next winter  😃
 Lisa was sorting her wools when I took photos, she did get some work done but Pennie didn't take a photo of that... maybe next time 😗

 Heather was working on her masterpiece, we've seen sections of it before and we know it's going to be wonderful when finished  😮

 Check out what Glynis is up to... wearing her Halo she's cutting circles, see below, to hand applique onto squares before she puts them together for a quilt... can't wait to see more and I, along with a couple of others are thinking of following suit!  Wait and see   😀

 Ann, also wearing her halo has finished this little pillow case which has a very neat zipper at the back  😃
 Now what is Lynne knitting here, actually I didn't see then she put it away and got out her beautiful stitchery below 😊

 Rita was mending her husband's jacket sleeve, what a loving and caring wife she is eh!  Below she's putting the last of 100's of hexagons on her beautiful quilt more of which we hope to see next Pub day 😉

 Maggie did a Stitchery Class and received this perfect kit to make a card but she's thinking she would like to frame this piece instead, very impressed with the Kit and the cost... only $40 😮

 Penny came, she bought her stitchery, she enjoyed her lunch and never opened her handwork, but she is excited about going on holiday for three weeks so all is forgiven Penny 😇

Irene was busy with her Crochet today as well, Hey that's a lot of Crocheting, plus some knitting and some mending... so only a couple actually making quilts, that's okay we'll still be friends!  😃
