ANNIE LOUISE CAWKER
Annie is one of our newer membes, and tells us that "My stitching has been mostly quilting. I am working on a reindeer wall hanging, with a braided border made from Christmas fabrics". This is just great during this hot weather we've been having - helps to cool us down during our shut-in days. Annie's Christmas quilt wall hanging . . .the cut pieces, partly put together, and now (December, 2020) the finished piece. Just in time for Christmas ! 
 and another Christmas wallhanging . . . and a Christmas table runner 
 . . . plus the Canadian Quilt in the making. . . .

HEATHER JAMES
Heather has been working diligently on two Tudor Roses and they are finally completed. They have been given to Grace Church on-the-Hill to form part of a Priest Stole. Heather took the design from the 154 year old frontal (that apparently the RSN made for them) and made a few more additions; she says: "....I was soooo excited to hand it in as it was my absolute best long and short (silk shading) piece that I had ever done. (....and believe me, Church Ladies are very scrutinizing! ) " (Note : The Anglican Church have very very strict Standards for needlework pieces, so if you are interested, make sure you obtain their written directions before you start.) Heather also shows her multi-coloured piece that is the actual centre of a mini-casket (circa 1700's) sewing tool box. She thinks that putting it together may take as long as the stitching ! Her last piece, most recently finished, is the Mariner's Compass - an amazing piece of Goldwork by Canadian Cynthia Jackson. Heather was supposed to take this Course in Boston this last September but we all know why she wasn't able to be there. However, Cynthia ran the best online Course and finished just before Christmas. Although relatively pleased with her progress in Goldwork, Heather says she can see that more practise is needed to get the arcs perfect and the bricking lined up...argggh. (We know what she means !!)

SHEILA McCOY
Sheila dragged out projects started 3 years ago..... a sewing box to finish, a sweater, and more recently an Elsa Williams Crewel Bell Pull. In the meantime she churned out more of the lavender sachet fronts and is trying to finish a Needlepoint piece started 25 years ago (!!), and is hoping to do more of the Tanja Berlin thread-painting Chickadee.
