Workshop in Burbage

 Yesterday Paula, Julie and I went over to the U3A craft group in Burbage to sew for Linus with the lovely ladies there. We go there every year and always have a great time. This time I took some orphan blocks which I asked them to quilt so we could join them quilt-as-you-go. 

Here is the group beavering away! Julie is helping in the far left of the photo, and Paula is in pink at the far end of the table.

Here are some of the completed blocks being admired by the group.

And here is a better view of some of the completed blocks. It’s amazing how quilting brings the block to life.  ‘It’s not a quilt till it’s quilted’ and joined together! 

First delivery of 2026

 Last week Jan and I went over to the Saffron Lane Children’s Centre to deliver quilts.  The health visitors there will be able to deliver the quilts to needy families.  It was the first time I had been over there, and we had fun trying to find it (as usual!). Postcodes aren’t always the best way to find a new destination.

Blogger isn’t playing nicely with my photos, but here is Jan and the receptionist at the centre with one of the gorgeous quilts.  That’s 50 happy children!
