One of our "newbies" brought along some dolls to show us:
The heads are from the 1930s - made of paper mache. The bodies are newer, some of the clothing is from the 1920s. Boudoir dolls.
Each year we organise a secret "Challenge" -
This year we each made a non slip mat for the foot pedal of our sewing machines.
No-one has to make it...but everyone seems to play along.

I also offered another project - the teeny weeny pincushion
Here is the collection
As I was the "teacher" - my new one didn't quite make the "collection" shot, so it gets its own picture:
A group shot before some go home.
Those of us staying went to the Mt Alford Pub for dinner. This time I had bangers & mash.
Although we were all very busy, I don't seem to have too many pictures, but here is the Tally Board at the end of day 3.
There are still 8 of us staying on , so there will be more tags moved over on Monday & Tuesday.

Oh those pincushions look great all together they did well........
great idea for the pedals... I have just a loose piece of that non slip stuff which is not nearly as smart. Did you bind aroudn a single piece or is there more layers? I love those mini pincushions... such great work - foundation pieced???? Happy sewing for the next couple of days...
