Lockdown Show n Tell

 As with most quilting groups we have not been able to meet up so i have been sent some photos of what our members have been working on over the lock down.

first up is a little cup bag that Robynne has finished, it is was a kit from a very long time ago. Very pretty.

Belinda has been very busy, she said it really was her happy place and she had her little people helping her.  Well done all of you.

Chris has a lot of her sewing still in storage but has been misplacing her needles so deceided to make a needle case. Great idea.

Frances sent me these photos of the quilt she helped her Grandaughter Georgia make. Georgia chose the pattern and colours and did about 50% of the sewing over multiple Sundays, this is the back

And the beautiful front, well done Georgia and Frances
