Blue Gum - Happy New Year

 Hi everyone and welcome to a brand new year.

Very pleasant day with 6 of us in attendance.

Hand Work

Irene was working on another scarf for charity. It's a pattern where you increase at the ends of the rows and the yarn was soft and pretty!

Heather is working on her long term project. Beautiful applique.

Marilyn is working on another crochet temperature rug. The blocks were quite small and the colour chart was interesting! Marilyn has kept a log of days of the week and temperatures and weather status as well.

Cath was working on the handles for a new bag, in purple of course!

Rita was working on her large floral hexagons.

Show & Tell

This is a lovely little quilt by Heather. It started as a fun fabric strip swap at a retreat! Lovely.

Some fabric purchased in Japan was the inspiration for this quilt top by Glynis

A waistcoat/vest Glynis was working on and is now finished.

Next get together:  will be at the Blue Gum on Saturday 7 February 2026. Hope to see you there!

Blue Gum

It was great today to see so many smiling faces at the Blue Gum as 9 of us sat chatting and stitching and had a lovely time.
