January's meetings & the big reveal

We kicked off 2016 meeting twice per month, having added the first Wednesday to the third Wednesday. 

The first Wednesday was, and will continue to be, a sewing evening, free format, whatever project you like. What we saw was embroidery, knitting, gold work, needle felting and plenty of patchwork all UFOs or, if you prefer, PHDs.

As for the big reveal - 17 of us, that was pretty much all of us at the time the project started, have been working on the mystery block challenge for two years, making one block every other month for another person taking part in the challenge. Well, all 12 blocks are now made and can be revealed in all their glory. Our October meeting is the next big deadline in the challenge as the quilts need to be complete.

Everyone was delighted with their blocks, and it was lovely to see the the ideas and creativity, and growth in confidence as the project progressed. There were a few unusual sized blocks but nothing that can't be sorted out with a squaring ruler or a block border!!!

Want to see the blocks? Here goes........
