An old U.F.O. becomes a current W.I.P

Amazing how many U.F.O's are seeing the light of day lately, this latest was unearthed by Sue W from way back in 2006.

Started in a workshop with Lorraine Carthew this beauty is getting close to finished.

Lorraine's class was in raw edge applique, but Sue decided to fall back on her preferred method of blanket stitching.

Closer look at those tiny neat stitches

 

Sheila is working to a plan for the future, for a friends next big '0' birthday.  Using some shasiko pieces she has been saving,

along with some lovely blue and white fabric she purchased on her trip to Japan, she has created this lovely.

Sheila was busily slicing scraps into usable sized pieces.

with a view to making these lovely improv blocks.

Jackie is busily stitching arcs into rows that will become another stunner.

Di had a basket of goodies, shasiko goodies that is, she is up to piece number 5 so far.

Sue A is recently returned from visiting family, and of course took along a piece to work on, "well because you do don't you!" Sue was telling us that it was the perfect piece because it took quite a bit of gazing and considering to decide on just what was needed and where.  Very relaxing.  Sue isn't entirely sure of what she will use this piece for but is thinking, perhaps a bag?

Sheila sent a pic of Yola's finished wall hanging.  Thanks Sheila.
