For our July meeting (our first ever) we decided to have a 'Preston Cream Tea'. Everyone brought some current work to do and lots of chatting and fellowship went on.
Here are the 'Japanese Present Bags' which were completed from the June Day School with Lindsay Jones.
Christine brought some 'felt weaving' that she had been doing and showed us one which she had finished by felting. Nice!
Theresa was busy making quilt blocks and Elaine was working on her counted stitch work.
Kath brought some of her intricate and delicate 'Wessex Stitchery'.
June was making a book of the Ten Commandments for a lucky Grandchild.
... and Eileen was engaged in her favourite blackwork.
Maureen was working on a cross stitch piece and Anne was finishing her Japanese Present Bag.
One interesting feature of the day was the amount of 'tutoring' which was going on. Here is Beryl showing Elva how to make a very elaborate crochet scarf. Beryl swears it's easy but I'm not so sure ... you'll have to show us all how to make one, Beryl?
Here's someone else finishing off a UFO! Isabel is tackling some weaving started on a Sue Lawty workshop. Now where did I put mine ...?
Here is Pat enjoying one of the books she bought at our Book Sale and Pamela is making poppy templates for a 'Meadow' wall hanging that she is planning. Can't wait to see that, Pamela.
I'm really sorry but I forgot to take a photograph of the 'Cream Tea' until there wasn't much cream and very few strawberries left. You''ll just have to believe me that they were yummy!!!
A very pleasant way to spend a summer's day.
