Mellow Yellow
At Chertsey Museum the classes have been arranged by the lovely, and now very pregnant Sally. Sally has just gone on maternity leave, and the group decided we would make some yellow and white blocks to create a quilt for the baby.
I got photos of a few under construction last Friday
(it is coincidence that these are both foundation pieced flying geese)
And the first finished block arrived in the post today - it's lovely Deborah, I'm so glad you felt you could part with it!

Broom Farm sewing
At last I remembered to take photos of the creative loveliness that is happening at the Adult Education class I teach at the Broom Farm Army camp on a Monday afternoon:
Monika is working on two pirate pieces which will become floor cushion covers
Jane brought some traditional sampler blocks last week, but this week wanted to work on this advent calendar. The work was unpicking rather than stitching, but she's much happier with it now
Sally is working on a craft caddy for a mug - I'll get a photo of a mug 'wearing' a caddy, then it will make lots more sense! This was a 'back of a cupboard' for two years but she's steaming ahead now . . .
and has inspired Katie to make one too!
