October 2013

This month we met a week later, 26th October.  Julia kindly offered to do the demonstration this month and it was be a Christmas snowflake hanging card.

Once again we had a full house - and more - great to see.

This was made using the snowflake stamps and dies by Stampin' Up!  Julia had pre-cut most of the snowflakes for us already, which did make it a lot easier and I know everyone was happy about that.   

Thank you Julia for volunteering once again.

September 2013

We all met up on 21st September and had twenty or so ladies again this month.  It was lovely to see you all and I know we all enjoyed seeing bit of the wedding that went on in the church - the bridges mother, possibly the groom and bestman, and some lovely bridesmaids.

Wendy had said she would do the demonstration this month, on foundation piecing in patchwork.
Wendy showed us all the principles of foundation piecing and then showed us how to either make a heart or Christmas tree.  Thank you very much Wendy, I know everyone enjoyed it and have heard from several people to say they were doing them.

I completed my christmas tree and made it into a card - so who knows who will get that one!!

August 2013

This month we met on 17th August and was once again very well attended.  Kathy kindly stepped in at the last minute to do this months demo.  This month it was an exploding box, also a twisted version, which I had never seen before.  Thank you Kathy for talking us all through it (and showing Shirley!!!!) excellent demo.

                  

Well done Shirley!! You look really surprised.

Just so that Kathy know I did do a box a couple of days later!!
