Another good evening...

Below are various posts with pics of what some of us have been up to.  It is lovely to see such variety.

Of those I didn't photograph - Lesley, newly returned from New Zealand and looking tanned and serene was unpicking some quilting she had done before she went away.

I was adding to my Petits Bateax collection http://petitsbateaux.canalblog.com/archives/petits_bateaux/index.html.  Jenny was the French lady who inspired a whole load of these.  I keep sewing away off and on and one day I will have a quilt.  If you poke around the archives you will find lots of other inspirational petits bateaux.  She has since gone on lead other quilt making endeavours but I am rather too slow to keep up!

Wilma was making another Dresden Plate.  She uses the technique where you turn the top to get the point.  I found a tutorial - http://loftcreations.blogspot.com/2009/04/easy-dresden-tutorial.html which shows you what it looks like finished.  Wilma wasn't using a machine, though.

Norma and Chris were doing their  triangles.  Chris is putting hers together and Norma has a couple of rows to go before she starts that.  They are all gorgeous.

Linda was hand quilting her dresden plate quilt - it's a big quilt and she is doing really well.

A lovely evening.
