Paula and I were delighted t be invited to Barwell earlier this month to sew with the lovely ladies from the U3A Craft Group. They invite us every year and beaver away to make a Linus quilt or two! All equipment has to be PAT tested on their premises, so they aren’t able to bring their sewing machines. No matter, all our Linus equipment is tested, so we took five sewing machines and let them loose!

Most of them were unfamiliar with patchwork techniques and rotary cutters, and some with sewing machines, but they soon got the hang of it.
They had to share machines and sit near power sockets, so were a bit spread out!
Everyone had a go at making some scrappy windmill blocks and were amazed at how quick and easy they were!
They completed enough blocks for a complete quilt and half a quilt. Good progress! We need to get the quilts finished for when we go back to see them later on this year. Thank you ladies for all your hard work!
