Productive January

Well there has to be an upside to the freezing cold weather and that has been that I have spent more time sewing than usual.  I have finished lap quilt for my brother-in-law and had an amazed thank you letter by return of post.  I have also made a log cabin cushion for the Hexagon AGM Challenge using curved courthouse blocks.  This was a method a devised for my City and Guilds course and I was pleased to see that its replication on a small scale worked well.  I have also finished my piece for the monthly Loose  Threads challenge!

Three of us had a great time on Tuesday shopping for more fabric at Village Fabrics and then yesterday I started to think about finishing my Philippa Naylor workshop piece and realised it could only be done by buying more fabric. I think I better work on something else instead!

Dates:- Quilters’ Guild of the British Isles, Region 6

My newsletter came this week so I can pass on a few dates which might be of interest.

Saturday 7 March there is a Regional Day in Charvil Village Hall with Joan Nutall and Kathleen Laurel Sage. The following day Kathleen is doing a workshop, which I have booked on.

Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 March there is a Region 6 exhibition at Radley College and 27-29 March is the Conference and AGM in Swansea. I will be getting my certificate for completing the judging course at the AGM.

The date for the Summer lunch is 16 July and the Autumn Regional day is 17 October when Claire Tinsley will speak and give a workshop the next day.  I have still to finish the piece I started at her workshop with the Hexagon Quilters!!
