Sunday Stitchers - June

Today was the day for our Breast Cancer fundraising  / support day.
We had a guessing competition - how many coffee beans in the jar?? Who knows??  - we only had a picture of the jar - but I was closest so I scored a bag of lovely Lindt chocolates and some fabric
We also had a raffle - and the lucky Helen won that .

We were asked to bring pink food  . . .
probably a few teaspoons of sugar on the table...??

I made these little tea cups and no Sandi I didn't lick them to make them stick!.
Maree made a big pink ribbon cake
and Debbie made some apple & berry crumble in these cute little bowls
There were lots of other yummy things - fortunately some savoury.

All the Gossip girls showed their progress:

Some "oh so cute" pants Debbie has made for premmie babies

Lynda did a class recently with Camille Roskelly and this is the block she worked on...

Inca showed her completed flimsy :Antique Sampler" from Sue Daley

and top prize for the day goes to Helen for finishing her Twilight Garden quilt.  It is beautifully embroidered all over...from a design by Candy Cats.  This is Helen with the Candy Cats designer (we call her Maureen for short)


Such a fun day....
