Springsure Workshops

                                          Show & Tell from last months "Circle Play Class"





 
 Our 3rd workshop was
"Wedge Ruler & Modern Dresden"
The lades made large floor cushion or table cloths.
They all done a wonderful work




  I got a bit carried way & made up a few more floor cushions. The real story is ..... When I got home from Melbourne, Megan & her lovely friend Ashly had been through my cupboard to pick out fabrics they would like to have cushions made out from. So I had this lovely bright pile of fabric sitting on my sewing table with a very nice note asking if I would just whip this up for them.  The large yellow & tan one I have kept for my self.
                                           Back at Springsure for the 4th workshop.
                                                      This time we made "Chenille rugs".
                                              After many hour of stitching. It was time to cut.
                                            And then the brushing or fluffing.

  Most of the Lady's went home with a second one all glued & ready to stitch.  Next month we should have more lovely show & tell to look at.
 On Saturday nigth I went to my wonderful friend Laurene's for sewing. She had Lauraine visiting for the week end. So it was a good time to catch up & do a bit of work together. We are all working on a Mystery Quilt. The two "L"have done a few Mystery's over the last 2 years & there always great, this time I joined in. We made the rule that we had to use as much of our all fabric as we could. Same of my fabric is very old & very ugly.
