Caverswall Quilt Cave

This is a new invention of Irene's. It's a special device for turning tubes, like for bag handles.... I refuse to tell you what some of us were thinking while she demonstrated this ingenious gadget... Irene had to leave her kitchen roll at home in order to bring it along... darn it, now you know what the invention really is eh! ha ha ha... what a brilliant idea though.....
After my demonstration about making Daiziez last Friday, Joan The Shop has another project started, lovely... all of the daiziez will be white with yellow centres and the background will be a mix of pinks and purples... she was working on a very complex bag today though...
Mum(Gwynneth, for those who asked) has made enough Bento Box blocks for the centre of her lap quilt, it was a bit of a game deciding where to put each block to get a good mix. She stitched it all together during the day so now needs border fabric, a little worrying actually.... she shops in my stash!!! he he he
Wendy was telling us last week that she doesn't want to start any new projects... ehem... what's this then you ask??? A new project! A Bento Box curiously enough, he he he, actually, she just couldn't resist as she had the perfect fabrics sitting there begging to be played with. Great colours.

Lacey Ann popped in for a little advice. This is a little quilt that she has been working on at home... now instead of it being a wall hanging it will be a lap quilt... but "How?" she asked, out came one of my block books... lets see what she does with it, next week....
It's the Festival of Quilts for the next 4 days... I shall be there, apparently wearing white gloves and a sash.... like a Beauty Queen and an Angel.... all at the same time!! ha ha ha
The next Quilt Cave gathering at Caverswall Village Hall will be on Friday 20th, 10am - 3pm give or take...
