Some very Special Guests came along to our group of SCQuilters at the Hotel Pennant Hills this month.

I had previously met Jean and Brian at the Penno Pub a few months ago, they live up north and every now and then catch the train down to Pennant Hills Station so they can both stock up for their crafty passion... and enjoy a good lunch.

This month they really surprised us with a fabulous collection of their work, thank you so much Brian and Jean, hopefully we might be lucky enough to see you another time.

Enjoy a good long look at all this beautiful work.

Lots of wonderful handwork, I didn't get around to everybody though... will try harder next time.... oh and one Show and Tell.

 Beautiful light and soft wool being knitted by Kathleen.

 Love these fabrics of Laima's.

 Hexie's underway with Lisa.

 This stunning bird and these fantasmorgorigal shoes belong to Lizzie... I know, I know Lizzie didn't make it to the Penno Pub last Saturday... these photos were taken by Heather at the Blue Gum last month while I was busy with family.  Wonderful!

 Fabulous stitchery being done by Lynne...

 Maggie's got something new underway... in between continuing along with my very favourite stitchery ever!!   Wow!!

 Maureen's very interesting block, looking forward to seeing more.

 Michelle has one very big crochet job underway for her daughter, looking wonderful so far.

I'm knitting a jumper... 'Just like Mumma's'  a request from my four year old grandson, I knitted the very large and very colourful jumper for Kate, my DIL who's request I could not refuse!   All the wools in these jumpers are either left over from other projects or wools given to me.  Very satisfying!  Kate loves her jumper so much she bought me my favourite chocolate as a thank you  :-)

 I wonder what Robyn is up to now?  looks very interesting.

 Now who belongs to this interesting block...  Heather?   Glynis?  Ann?  Helpppppp....

 Wow!  Look how much hand work Laima was able to get done!   Yay!!

We only had one SCQuilter Quilt for Show and Tell!  This has to be a record!!   Only ONE???

I will have to think up some interesting incentive for our next Pub Gathering.

Kathleen made this lovely quilt starting with a 'scarf' in the centre!  Turned out beautifully hasn't it! 

Lots of lovely SCQuilters, some of whom I photographed twice, some I forgot to get even one photo of!!
