Calico bags

Rosemary has finished her calico bag and it looks good. Chris is making some delicate flowers for her bag.

We would love to see your bag when it's finished and I'll post a photo of them on the blog.





Rosemary has been busy !

1972    Embroidery of the Century 

Rosemary has completed another wonderful quilt for the Embroidery of the Century Project.

It is a patchwork quilt about the year 1972. Helpers researched a significant moment during the year and made an embroidered panel to depict that moment.

I think most of us have memories of 1972 I certainly do !

Well done, Rosemary.
