Thursday 18th February

 The Textile Experimental Group was 10 years old on the 10th February.  For those who joined at the start, we were in Snainton Reading Room for our first meeting which wasn't a particularly suitable venue but we changed straight away to Ayton Village Hall and have been there ever since.  I haven't done much sewing this week, I have been out walking with my daughter instead.  Had a nasty fall on the ice on Sunday, being over confident in my walking boots but am on the mend now.

Susan has been busy finishing off a quilt that her daughter started a few years ago.  The colours are lovely.

Roma is working away and has done this piece which represents the roads and houses around where she lives.  Lesley did something similar a few weeks ago so I think they are both doing the same course.  The fabric Roma used for the trees is some batik she did with Heather Gatt some time ago.

I haven't been doing a lot of sewing but my daughter has.  She is making covers for two of her prized books and the first one is finished.

The book is Jamaica Inn and this gives a feel of brooding moorland.  The colours are darker in reality, the background being a dark purple.

Here's hoping we get back together soon, we must nearly all have had our first jab now, I got mine on Saturday morning at 8.30!
