Macmillan care 100th Anniversary



A new stile of bag i have made this week.

I will take it along with the other new one's

to the Big craft fair on Sunday for the

Macmillan Care.


This will be the third fair this week.








Both side's of the bag are different and was

made using fat 1/8 so very little left over

fabric.

Time flys when you have fun

I have had a lovely day making 2 bags.
The bright,fun bag did not take to long.
I have put 3 pockets inside.








The cat bag is heavily quilted
and uses pipping around the edge
to join it so making it reversible.
I think I will make this stile of bag
again.

What to do with a block made at a workshop

The block of the chick was made
using foundation piecing.I have
a problem with not alowing enough
enough fabric. As we had a demo
from one of our quilting group I
though I could do with the pratice.
I then dacided to use the rest of my
Baby scraps to make a small cover for
a car seat or buggy.



Befor my Daughter moved I
used her dye cutter to cut the
Butterflys out.I had the idae
to make post cards, one of which
I have sent her.

The Scouts Parade


This shows the bunting we have to take to all the events we do as

The Town Hall Crafters






We were in a good spot when the Scouts paraded into Church in

the afternoon.


It was a long but enjoyable day.

St George's Day fair March

We started out at 6-30 so we had plenty of time to set up before opening at 10am .The drive across the Fens was very foggy so we guest it would be sunny.We had a pitch in the Church grounds hear you can see Leafy setting out her Jewellery with two of my Quilts and some of Ian's wooden candle sticks.







At this point we had no idea of the extent the fair covered in the
Town.




We had taken craft from other The Town Hall Crafters that we displayed around the stand to sell for them.








When we had a chance to go and see what other stalls there were

we only managed to see half of them before having to rush back

to help on the stall.
