These last few days all my energies have been directed towards finishing off my exhibits for the Gresford show which opens on Tuesday. And here are the finished ones.

              Sunflowers

                  Tessellated lap quilt

                Tessellated single qult

                   Sunshine and Shadow

                Multi-coloured dream quilt

             Thread flowers

Can you guess which the odd one out is on this pile?

What I need to get on with now is the long table runner. Made out of synthetics, pattern and detail has been sewn with black cotton thread and is now in need of some rapid soldering! This is a very satisfying thing to do, smelly though and for safety reasons, I wear a mask and work in short doses. It is not yet finished but it will be by tomorrow. Here is some progress.

My blog next week will show my exhibits in the church. If you are able to come to the exhibition it will be well worth it. We can promise you lots of colour and plenty of inspiration. With refreshments, a plants stall, Tombola, crafts sales stall and Dot Sherlock of Quilter’s Needs, what more could a girl want? Why, the Wrexham quilting circle exhibition of course and the Malpas Fabric art and Penrhos needlelace and a sugar craft display: they will all be there! Put ‘Gresford Craft Group’ into your search bar and when you get to the home page, click on Exhibition 2016. You will find all the information that you need there. Come and say hello and help us raise lots of money for local charities.
