2022 October

 Welcome to a quick whiz through my October: not quite in chronological order that's to Bloogers random processes, but here we go!

We had a "World Café" even at the community coffee morning - loads of people came.  The preschool is collecting children's pyjamas for a charity that wants to give a new pair to every child in hospital over Christmas.  Three of us wore of PJs for the coffee morning to promote it (we collected 18 pairs!)

 

I have finally finished my poncho shawl thing: a bit bigger than I expected, and rather warm, but I still love the colours and it'll live in teh sewing room for when it gets a bit chilly

 

Jackie was over for a few days and we made some bits and pieces: I can't find photos of them all, but these zippy cases are great!  And we had a lovely time!

We taught at class at Chertsey museum: Christmas cushion covers (got to love a roll of Heat and Bond!)

 

 

 

Loads of lovely cushions!

I've been working on an "ocean inspired" challenge: a foundation paper pieced puffin.  He's nearly finished but annoyingly I've run out of grass, so I'm not sure where I am going next!

This Puffin however worked out much better - he's needle felted!

This is the finished (?) denim jacket I was making on a hoody 'net'.  I took it to Richmond and Kew and my friend Jane has taken it to add some buttons!  The patched denim was donated by Cherille . . . it's becoming a group project!

This was a group project too: all the blocks were make by Richmond and Kew members . . . 

and L was delighted to receive it

I made some felted birds

and some felted fairy lights

and the rainbow wrap has reached the right size so is ready to be quilted - if anyone knows where I have put the bag of pearle threads please can you let me know!
