Our Valentines Day get together was enjoyed by all, with an array of nifty notions we love to use and showing of items we had made that we love aired for all to see. Then of course there was news of the 50% off sale at The Quilters Store and a car load of girls dashing to the shop!!!
Did someone say SALE??? – lucky for a 7 seater car Shirley, & off they bolted haha!!
The girls returned in time for lunch of course, complete with fabric to show and tell
And lovely coffee…..then it was time to show some of our nifty notions that we love to use
Julie loves her 1/4 inch & walking foot and loves her Samsung Tablet which is great for Pinterest inspiration amongst other things….
Kayt loves her Roxanne thimble and Clover threaded needle container which she demonstrated for us & shared her love for her patent leather purse which holds other special lovelies that she likes to keep close by
Shirley brought along her snail tape measure and leather thimble that she loves to use to protect her finger whilst crocheting
Deb showed us her turning tools and gave us a mini demo of how she uses these – I just love that clear plastic bag you’ve made to keep them safe in
Violet loves her binding tool, best thing ever she told us.
Thanks Julie for the backdrop of your carry case that I just love. I must make myself one, oneday!
Gail showed us her battery operated version of a quick unpick that she loves and saves her lots of time when ‘reverse’ sewing :)
THEN came the items that we’ve made and we love – Violet couldn’t bring her daughter, who she says she made and loves (awww cute hey) so she bought along the beautiful quilt that she made for her – lucky girl!
This stunning King Size quilt. Lots of oohs & ahhs were heard in the Bistro when this one appeared!
Kayt conquered her fear of cable knitting making this gorgeous sweater & brought it along to show us
Helen, knee deep in her Masters Degree made herself a journal cover that she loves to use
Shirley found a love of knitting making this cowl/shawl
Deb found that she loved hand stitching this floral Redwork quilt
Gail made this amazing quilt which we all loved
Chris hand pieced this amazing masterpiece which we offered ideas on how to boarder and quilt – finished for next get together right Chris? lol :)
No pictures of my items because my camera battery went flat. I shall be better prepared next month :)
A couple of new ladies enjoyed their day I think – welcome again to Gail & Chris and hopefully our 3 regulars who were away this month will re-join us in March. You missed great coffee, lunch, chatter and show & tell – and we missed you Ann, Margaret & Gail.
Until March, happy stitching
Sharon
