Smaller items

 Led by Maggie, the Queen Beez had a bag day. She designed a very handy tote which doesn't take up too much room. We made two at once.

And Bonnies made cushions using tessalated stars. I made mine for my kitchen chairs in Cherrywood fabrics to fit in with all the others.

I completed a few Zip Up Pouches for the Guild FOQ tombola and the bags will do as well because they have zip up pockets inside.

Mine are on the left, black and chrysanthemum and green grass.

I also attended a rather arcane Guild workshop with Cas Holmes making small meaningful objects. My heart wasn't really in it and thought I should go along to make up the numbers and support the Guild. This wasn't necessary as various people turned up from a wide range to learn from such a distinguished teacher.The objects were encased first in crumpled paper then various fabrics and extensively stitched. I didn't quite get the idea and ended up with something like an untidy pass the parcel but others did much better.

Fortunately I had to dive off shortly after lunch to attend an eightieth birthday party along the road so didn't have to expose my shortcomings.
