Mystery Object

WHAT IS IT?
This little wooden egg belongs to one of the ladies in our group, but none of us know what it is. We think it is probably something to do with sewing, but what? The egg is about the size of a large chicken's egg and as you can see there is a grove running from the top to the bottom but only on one side. At one end there is a hole, there is no thread in it, so it may be a peg of some sort that just pushes into the hole. We are only guessing, If anyone has any ideas , please let us know.

What about calling the last page Latest News & Chat?
Tomorrow I will be putting a photo on the 'Chat' (Blog) it is an item which we think is something to do with sewing but don't really know. Check in tomorrow and see what it is, we really do not know. (Seahaven Day Group) .

Thanks for that Kathryn. I got my sewing machine from them quite a few years ago and they were very helpful. I spent a couple of hours trying out all the different machines in the shop. The man there said it is the only way to get what you really want. I did come home with the one that I had originally wanted but I knew for sure that was what I wanted.

PS had one suggestion for a new name for Blog it was Forum,which is a much nicer. Any more suggestions?

Wprld of Sewing, Tunbridge Wells

Lorna recommended this to me, and says that the solid colour 100% cotton is particularly good value.
I haven't been yet, but I have checked the internet. There is an excellent map on their website (www.sewing-world.co.uk).
Some people might better know it as Bromley Sewing Machines - but Tunbridge Wells is closer!

Careful though - it's shut on Wednesday.

Happy Quilting,

Kathryn Greig

We would like to try and have a photo of each members work in the gallery on our web site, so please, please send me your photos, as many as possible. If you do not have a digital camera ask someone else in your group to take a picture for you, or bring your quilts along to the Tuesday evening meetings and we will do it there. I am sure lots of you have photos that you took at the exhibition which would be great to put in the gallery, please do let me have them.

Several of us have decided we do not like the word BLOG (maybe that is why no one is putting messages on it). Anyway, we are looking for a new name for it, Any ideas? email, phone, write, or even put it on the blog, just let us know what you think it should be called.

Welcome to the new ladies who have joined our group, and look forward to seeing you all on 14th October for an in depth show and tell.

Exhibition

Hello.
Hope you all enjoyed the exhibition, it was so nice to see so many of you there. What a lovely display of quilts, I was on the door most of the time and everyone that came out said how much they had enjoyed them, well done.
The challenge was well supported with a great selection of place mats. I will put photos and details of who won, visitors choice etc up on the blog when I have some time.
Please if you took photos would you forward them to me because my camera was playing around. It is really easy, (if you are stuck just email me, click on the link at the bottom of any page). It would be nice to have as much variety of quilts and makers as we can get, to put in the gallery.
Thank you to all of you who helped make it such a successful exhibition without your help it would not happen and it is greatly appreciated. A very very big thank you to Anne Weald who worked so hard for months beforehand and did not stop the whole weekend, also her husband Geoff who worked so hard putting up all the stands etc.
Brenda Fish
P.S. Hope to see you at the A.G.M. tonight.
