This is sewn by my friend Heather. She does fabulous work and her husband does book binding and restoration and always helps with fabulous ways to present her work.
There was a real variety of pincushions - biscornu and other types.( all too good to use! )
Lovely canvas work by Junior members.
There had been an indigo dyeing class. This person made all of hers into a fabuolus quilt.
And for the background for a Flax plant wall hanging.
Lots of Hussifs. Some called Cornpad Hussifs - I just had to ask...cornpad? Yes. It is the sore toe sort - used to raise the centre of the flower and stitch over - very obvious once I was shown.

The rain has continued. I have got to the hanging sleeve stage with my Challenge - just the bead work and embellishment to complete ( Yeah!! )
I am sewing down the binding on the butterfly quilt! ( Yeah!! ) Great progress when I get the chance to sit at it. No reverse sewing all..... went very smoothly...I love that...maybe practise makes perfect.

Thanks for sharing the photo's the hand dyed blue/indigos were so nice - and looked fantastic in the quilt. The butterfly quilt you're putting the binding on... you'll have to share a photo with us soon :) Hugs Jx

My brother told me the BOP has been having foul weather, with flooding. Keep warm, and keep stitching.
