Yesterday was our August meeting for Sunday Stitchers and once again our UFO challenges and Show and Tell was wonderful. Some of our stitchers out did themselves.....this post is very photo heavy!
Allison made 2 of those jelly roll quilts, some lovely placemats and lap quilt.
Cheryl, beautiful blanket, sweet pincushion and gorgeous quilt!
Inca's delightful mini quilt, beautiful stitched cushion and wonderful Lucy Boston.
Susan's lovely cross stitch, Tatyana's very cute Christmas teddy cross stitch, De's delightful quilt and Marilyn's amazing WIP.
We had three wonderful charity quilts, 2 from Helen and 1 from Inca. Awesome job ladies! Bottom snaps are of Linda's lovely little Christmas stars.....the tin under her arm contains more in various stages of construction.
I wasn't at our last meeting so I was the belated "birthday girl"......thank you girls for all my gorgeous fat quarters.....so delicious!
My show and tell was last month's UFO CHALLENGE.....which was to finish Blessings quilt! Phew...made it!
This month's UFO CHALLENGE was my Yoko Saito block.....
This month is number......
Which just happens to be another Yoko Saito block *sigh* glad I did that prep on Friday night.....so no excuses!
Whilst chatting, eating some delicious treats and having a good old giggle I worked on my 4 star blocks for the next border on Brinton Hall.
I only had to applique the red centres on so was quite happy to get them done as I had to leave a little early.
So that was my very enjoyable Sunday....oh apart from also being my Wedding Anniversary....my gift to my beloved was waving him off to a day at the Australian Super Bikes in Warwick with No.1 Son and Grandson. So we both had a very nice day finished off with a lovely dinner together......a look back down memory lane.
Before I buzz off I want to show my exciting if somewhat meagre first bounty from my container vege patch.
We have enjoyed more Cos lettuce, Italian parsley and dwarf French Butter beans. I think Mr R. is afraid he is going to find Italian parsley in his morning porridge lol!
Have a delightful week lovely folk.
Namaste and Blessings Michelle xxx
