Busy busy busy hands...

 Lizzie's handwork roll is coming along very nicely...  I love watching these projects grow each month or fortnight actually.

 Binding, Binding, Binding... something that takes forever and is sometimes the only thing on the quilt done by hand...  Cath is busy here.

 Lovely applique being done by Wendy one of our Newbies.

 Donna has her own little light for seeing this beautiful stitchery.

 Now... these are very interesting.  Yan totally unfolden one of them for me, they are a sort of Origami made from one double sided piece of fabric.   Very cute aren't they.

 Lynne tells me she will show me her finished product... I wonder what she is up to, these aren't her initials are they!!

 Another little Reindeer being stitched by Rita.

 Glynis has beautifully quilted each of these large hexagons for a friend and spent the day peeling off the plastic... what a mindless task but the end result is amazing.

 Lovely and big and bright applique being done by Robyn!

 Heather was doing applique as well, actually lots of applique today.

 And... would you believe it... only one person doing Crochet!  This is Wendy's work.

Penny's ...  I've forgotten... it will come to me... I know it's not Jane Austen... I know they aren't Hexagons...  Gawrd how could I have forgotten...

This has to be the most boring-est knitting I have ever done... 219 stitches and 89 rows in garter stitch and I have to do it twice!!!   A Cardigan for my darling Briony... don't tell her it's boring okay...  I will show you the finished product next week or so.

Lots of lovely happy SCQuilters came along on Saturday including two delightful newbies!

 Penny and Cheryl, a Newbie, hope to see you next time Cheryl and Penny :-)

 Lovely to see Donna once again and Cath.

 Lovely to meet Wendy our second newbie and great to see Yan again.

Unfortunately Emma couldn't make it to the Pub yesterday but Lizzie was there... not wearing this lovely shawl but wearing a wonderful jumper knitted by Lynne.   (I know I'm playing with your minds aren't I  :-)

 Stephanie and Annie were there.

 Pennie snuck in behind Becky.

Heather and Marilyn enjoyed the day...

 ... as did Glynis enjoying one of Ruth's delicious Brownies (Oh bother why didn't I take a photo of those beautiful Brownies!!  Silly Pennie)    Robyn is loving sitting beside Glynis enjoying her Brownie!

Now these two are playing tricks on you, can you see the difference in these three photos????


 Did you notice what Rita and Glynis were up to?????

Don't forget Lynne and Jill, enjoying some joke of sorts as usual... that's the wonderful thing about these Pub Days... always people smiling and laughing and chatting and ooooooing and arrrrrring...  being inspired!

Great Medicine it is... a Day at the Pub!!


Show and Telllllllll..... Show and Telllllllll..... Show and Telllllllll..... Show and Telllllllll.....

This is my latest Bonnie K Hunter - Au Provence made for Susan who turns 50 tomorrow, beautifully quilted by Emma using a Fleur-de-lis Pattern.

 Lots and Lots of lovely Quilts below made by Cath.


 Clam Shells above with the back below.

Yet another of Cath's lovely quilts.

 Wendy has come this far on this beautiful quilt above and below part of the border.

 Wow!  Wow!  Wow!  Congratulations to Heather for her prize winning quilt at the Royal Easter Show.  Wonderful isn't it.

 Look at this lovely little woven wall hanging Becky made, she told me it wasn't all wool, there is fabric in it... can you see the fabric??

 Lynne made this quilt for one of out Soldier's who requested the above, I love the back as well.


 Glynis machine quilted this beauty for a friend... she still has to unpick the plastic, how are you going Glynis.

Yan Pring made this delightful bag...  I wonder who she made it for  :-)   and how did she know I like Babushkas???     How lucky am I eh!  and how clever is this bag, I only hope the owner of the tie doesn't miss it, the tie that is, not the bag.
