Last U3A morning


Margaret Harrison's huge and immaculately
worked Sunset over the Garden quilt: there
was only room for half of it on my spare bedroom floor.
It is now folded on the bias, wrapped in a sheet and in
a roomy bag for storage. It will raise money for charity.

Monday was the last U3A class of this session and my last one for the time being as I find the preparation of samples and examples takes so much time away from my own quilt making. It was quite a sad moment but it was such a busy morning there no space to mope. 
Gabrielle's Batik Mystery top

Mary's very pretty Mystery top.

Grace's individual piece

This is the back of Linda's Scandi Christmas top, a piece in its own right.

Angela's bag in effective
monochrome.

Margaret's uses
a single fabric.

There was Show and Tell but the main focus was on the collection of lovely fabric, tools, books and patterns from Margaret's stash that Peter brought in. The students had a field day acquiring items and it rounded off the year. Margaret was just about well enough to teach the first session before going into hospital. I shall miss my old friend. Among other work there was a magnificent large quilt which we decided was too much for any one person to take home so it will be raffled for charity.
