October 2023 - Origami flowers

October sees us making some origami flowers, the instructions come from this book, it is widely available to purchase online. You may even be able to find it at your library.

We chose one that looked like a flower and was fairly easy to make, the Gloriosa daisy. Here are some examples being worked on,

and here are some finished.

We also had some lovely Show and Tell items to look at. MW has been busy making items for the St Helier baby unit.

Next Meeting - Thursday 5th December

Please note that our next meeting will be on Thursday 5th December at 7.30pm.

This month we will be bringing along our favourite quilting/fabric books to talk about (and get some ideas for those Christmas presents as quilters are so hard to buy for!!!).  We will then start a list of our favourite things on this blog for everyone to refer to.

Do not worry if you don't have a favourite book or are a beginner, it will give you a great opportunity to start to learn more and see what other people find useful on their quilting journeys.

Hope to see you there.
