Pamper Day (3)

AAAAAAAAAhhhhhhhhhhhhhh   What Bliss!!!
Today was Pamper day at our Church.  It is held every year at around this time of year.  The auditorium is transformed.  Tables with white cloths on everywhere instead of rows of seats.  There are lots of ways we can be pampered, such as Esther giving me a head, neck and shoulders massage.  I also had my eyebrows tidied up, a facial, my hair done, and a manicure.  I made some Christmas gift cards tutored by one our ladies, and  made a necklace at the jewellery table.  There was a table with jams and relishes  for sale, I haven't seen quince jam around for years and years, so I bought some.   We had soup and rolls for lunch with  bottomless cups of coffee and tea.

Pamper Day (2)

This is the jewellery-making table.  There were 8 chairs around and they were oocupied most of the day.  I made a necklace, but I took hours to find exactly the beads I wanted.  There wwere some very artistic and talented people  making beautifuly necklaces and earings.

Pamper day

This is the table Anna put my quilts on, she didn't spread them out, but most of the ladies present  did later.

Stash-Buster

I had a shoe-box full of batiks and needed another quilt for my Pamper Day stall, so I found this pattern in a recent American Patchwork and Quilting magazine.  This was the alternate colourway.  It fits a single bed and may be big enough to be a topper for a double bed.  It didn't take long to make, about 3 weeks in all.

Caring Hearts

I put this top together from Caring Hearts received over the past few years.  On the Forum we send members a pack of  8 heart-blocks for occasions when members are feeling sad for whatever reason, or when they have something wonderful to celebrate.

Sampler Quilt 2010

Here is the sampler quilt completed during 2010.  The program was run by a co-ordinator in an online Forum. 

At last

Drum Roll please.
At last it is finished.  So simple and it took 2 years of dithering about how to do it. Unfortunately it is a little short for a single bed when  the new owner grows up.  But for now it is big enough for a bed-topper and later he can use it as a throw.   There are tiny footballs sewn in the quilting and scattered over the quilt.
