An unusual Bargello and more...

Sheila and Lorraine went shopping and met some lovely ladies  at 24 Richardson St, Pacific Paradise, limited times of Mon 9a.m. - 4p.m. and Sat 9a.m. - 1p.m.

 Loads of bargains, and not such a drive, approx 10mins from the Cottage.  Make an adventure of the day and grab a coffee at 'Picnic' stroll through the park to sit and gaze out to Mudjimba Island from the beachside viewing platform

Aahhhh, the serenity!

Sheila has been rather busy with this lovely.

Sheila "This is my first ever  original wheelchair lap quilt.
The top section has a kangaroo & Pocket.
The lower section is from a crossword puzzle. It is for my dear friend Ruth Blom who turns 99 in December and the kangaroo reminds her of when she lived next door to me and kangaroos would visit.

 The reverse is made of flannel with a secret heart pocket"

 Sheila also shared some lovelies from the girls last Wednesday

Lots of updates from some of our members...

...none of whom are letting the grass grow under their feet, or to put it another way,W.I.P's are not becoming U.F.O's

Firstly a couple of pics and a description from Sue A.

 

The first box bag is made from old silk neck ties and the blue box bag is made of hand dyed fabric. They are both lined so no raw edges but not as hard to make as you may think. 

Jackie has completed this lovely.

Jackie "My Mirabella quilt I have hand stitched from January into the early days of our lockdown, this is a quilt topper size 64x64 inches. The pattern is by Margaret Sampson George."
