I thought I would show you the latest quilt made by our Thimbles group for the local village church, isn't it colourful.  Everyone usually does a bit and then our expert Liz puts it all together and puts on the backing. We make several different quilts through the year for the various village groups for them to raffle off to make money for their funds.


This is just a small part of the table we all sit round, the big tin is our biscutes...chocolate ones :-). Its lovely when we all get together to stitch and chatter and we are always sharing ideas and swapping fabrics and wool.  Its only 2 hours on a Friday and it goes so quickly, sometimes we do loads and others nothing...lol. Today I took my crocheted blanket to do but didn't get very far, there was too much talk about the holidays...past ones and up and coming ones.  We are having a trip to Harrogate next month to the Quilting Show, it should be a fun filled day with lots of lovely fabrics purchased and lots of laughs over coffee and cakes, the tickets arrived this week and I can't wait, Ive never been to one before.  Patchwork is a new hobby for me, I think I will be needing a clearout in my craft room to make space for all the new projects I'm wanting to do!

Does anyone else have a new hobby they are excited about?

Enjoy your evening
