Almost Summer

Susie's front garden is in bloom and the cottage garden 

is filling in. So nice to see as we approach summer!

Pat, Anne and Susie have been taking a knitting class, 

making the same mittens in different colors.

These are Pat's nearly finished mittens, but she still needs to knit a lining!

Barbara has been doing some wool appliqué projects...

and Carol S works on her needlepoint as we chat.

Carol H has been doing some knitting...

and some quilting,

including a hand stitched Kawandi quilt.

Susie's quilts are always a treat and it seems like there is a new one every week!

Anne made this quilt for her granddaughter, shown with its backing...

and she is currently working on this intricate sweater.

Judy has done some embroidery and an appliquéd landscape.

It's 2025!! 🌺🌿

 

        Is it possible that this is the 10th year of our blog?

         We continue to meet in Susie's cosy cottage each week,

our hands busy with all sorts of needlework,

           and here are some projects we have been working on recently 

                                                

First up - Anne's lovely work... 

This gorgeous blanket!

beautiful sweaters and hand warmers,

and this previously made pillow which she is adding to.

Next - Susie's prolific quilting for a

Boston hospital's NECU unit.

Christmas and Valentine's quilts!

Also by Susie, a sweet crown and wand for her granddaughter's 13th birthday,

and a hand knit fox and deer for her grandchildren, 

with clothing designed and made by Susie!

and one of many quilts!

Carol S. has been working on her needlepoint...

and here is Barbara's pieced and appliquéd quilt 

and a beautiful hand appliquéd wool wall hanging.

Some of Carol H.'s wonderful knitting,

and a handsome completed quilt!

Pat has been working on a pretty scarf...

and Judy has done some embroidery...

as well as some little cats for a craft fair!

Jane has been busy moving house, but we hope to have

something from her next time!

I think we'd all agree that what we make is

 not as important as the friendship, 

conversation and laughter we share every week.

Until next time!
