Bernina Club Day 16th November 2011

What a wonderful day we all had at the Club day today. This month we had three birthdays to celebrate!!
including a big 70th birthday.I  brought along my special Home made Vanilla and Chocolate Cake with lots of lovely creamy icing on top. It always goes down well!!! We had several new members too. they all enjoyed it very much and can't wait for next month.
Laine, one of our regular member talked about Foundation Piecing, she had made lots of samples and kits up too. Very interesting indeed and thank you Laine well done.
Laine makes wonderful quilts, and bags and is always willing to share her work with the group.
Anne, who does wonderful digitizing amongst other things, showed us some of her work too.

 Over coffee and cakes, we all sang happy birthday and gave out birthday cards. Davina and Myself (who run the club) thanked everyone for attending and supporting the club over the last year. Those that took the time to prepare and do a little talk throughout the year were given a little gift as a token of our appreciation in making the group so successful. Many thanks to all the members who attend regularly to support each other.
we are very lucky to have such  vibrant talent members in the group who are willing to show and tell, and share their textile/sewing skills, good and bad for the good of others.

Here are some examples of Foundation Piecing. I am sure you will agree they look great.
