| The 3 above are by Rosemary - presents for people, lucky them :) |
 |
| I think this is Dawn's as she is hiding behind it |
 |
| Dawn was making lavender bags also for presents |
 |
| Sarah's finished runner |
 |
| Steph's brilliant bunting |
 |
| Jane's doll quilt which has been accepted for publication |
 |
| ...and the back |
 |
| Steph's sandcastle block - with tinkly shells on; a nice touch! |
 |
| We are making a quilt during the course of next year. Most of us have a copy, including Lesley now in New Zealand. Jane decided not to wait and has begun hers. It looks miles better in the flesh, so to speak. If you go to the link you will see where the pattern came from and also if you look at the Patterns section you will find the quilts which were displayed at the Malvern 2013 show. The pics dont do the quilts justice though - they were fab! The pattern came from White Cottage Country Crafts | | . |
 |
| Sheila's jelly roll top. This has turned out really nicely |
 |
| Sheila again - made with Moda fabrics I think? It is lovely |
 |
| Raffle table |
 |
| and again |
 |
| and again! |
 |
| Rosemary has been busy again |
 |
| Chris's beautiful quilt. She still has more to do to it, but when it's done, it is done and there won't be anything more to add.... |
 |
| For our last meeting we had a small party (yes, we did sew, too, and have a quiz). Just enough food which was lovely :) |
|
 |
| Wendy's huge grin as she won the first ticket and therefore got first choice |
 |
| Chris chose Lesley's quilt. Rosemary doesn't usually sit like that; she was trying to discreetly get out of the way |
|
 |
| After that digression, Wilma has chosen another bag for when she next goes away I think |
 |
| Linda also picked a bag |
 |
| Sheila had a fabric bundle |
 |
| as did Norma. And that concludes the raffle prizes. Thank you all for buying tickets, offering fabric pieces and in particular Jane and Lesley for the magnificent quilts whose owners are so chuffed with them. |
 |
| And last but definitely not the least, Wilma's small quilt made from charms, possibly from last year's raffle. |

Well it is still December - but not for long! Breakaways has had an interesting year; our members are becoming more and more creative, coming up with amazing ideas. We have room for more as not everyone comes every week, so if you would like to give us a try, come along one Wednesday evening at 7pm to the Annexe at Denmead Community Centre in School Lane.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
