Under our needles


Pat been making new clothes for her vintage doll,
now more than 60 years old ...

... including her shoes, that Pat says are very 'fiddly'!


Marianne recently travelled to New Zealand to visit
her elderly parents. Knowing she would be in hotel quarantine
for 14 days she shipped a small sewing machine as luggage,
and took prepared pieces and thread ...

... and made good progress on making Elizabeth Hartman
designed whale blocks for her daughter who is studying marine
biology. Next level multitasking, planning and organisation.

Linda has been following Lori Holts You Tube Channel
where she demonstrates her method of dealing with scrap fabric,
down to very small pieces ...

... and making short work of some multicoloured star blocks.

Janet is sewing many, many triangles for little boat
blocks designed by Laundry Basket Quilts.

Daphne recently entertained her three year old
granddaughter by playing with fabric scraps. She wonders if
 this little girl might become a patchworker?
We think she already is.

We know Nerida is hand quilting a big quilt at the moment,
 but she's already started on the next one, Jen Kingwell's
'Dear Jen'. It's scrappy, hand stitched, and it will be beautiful.
