Wednesdays are for Quilting!!

Yesterday morning I had to drag myself away from TV- I was enthralled by the scenes at Barak Obama's inauguration - the speech, the song, the poem, the benediction - emotional and inspiring......BUT...... Wednesdays are for Quilting!! Dot Hooper-Smith (top) and Frances
Crothers (bottom) were the first to arrive yesterday morning just after 9.00. Frances is making Tall Poppies pattern "Clowns" and Dot is making a Beginners Sampler - actually she has made three quilts already, but now thinks it's time to brush up on a few techniques!
They were joined by others during the morning and they traced, cut and sewed -sometimes unpicked -until about 3.30. In the evening between 6.30 and 9.30 we did it all again. Great way to get things done and nurture the creative spirit
