The Poundbury Quilters, Monday 22 November, 2010

Three new members joined today. The group is growing.

We had a demonstration of the Japanese folded block and its possibilities.

Food:  Leek, mushroom and cheese pie (Greek style, with filo pastry) accompanied by raw carrots and plenty of political discourse….if only we were in power, the world would be a better place!

My husband complained that he couldn’t find a spare chair to sit on!

From now on, we will have demonstrations twice a month.

Monday 15 November 2010

We met as usual. Our meeting place was full of sunshine; the colours of the materials with which we were working took on a life of their own.

Marion Murray, an experienced teacher,  gave a tutorial on folded blocks.   

It is interesting how the same block made by different people in various colours  reveals an individual  sense of design.  

 Jane Alexander brought along a Friendship Cake. I had never heard of this tradition before.  The cake was delicious.
