Hello and happy Friday to you all, I hope that you have all had a great week we have been enjoying some lovely sunshiny weather up here in the usually cold north east of England yes there have been thunderstorms too but I quite like a thunder storm so I'm not complaining.
This week the North East Group of Loving Hands met at my home I always enjoy these meetings it's lovely to get together with like minded folk. We were even able to sit outside and enjoy the sunshine for a change.
Everyone had been so busy in June here are their lovely makes.
Ann gets the job of sewing up any squares that come our way and I think she did a great job making up these blankets, the squares come in all shapes and sizes and it's not always easy to fit them all together.

Maureen is teaching herself to crochet and is using the 200 crochet blocks book by Jan Eaton to practice and learn new stitches, I think she has done a fantastic job of this lovely blanket

Linking with Amy's Five on Friday
Such a lot of beautiful wooliness.! All for such a good cause too. Have a good week. :-)
ReplyDeleteHow nice to meet up with people who enjoy the same things and helping each other - you have all made some super things. The hydrangea is lovely:)
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful makes. Maureen's pink blanket is gorgeous. You are all very industrious.
ReplyDeleteIt really is wonderful to get together with like minded people, I know when it happens here, I love those times. You are all so productive too. Just lovely.
ReplyDeleteWow, how amazing! such a great achievement for a small group, you have done so much! Very inspiring, especially the blanket made by a beginner!
ReplyDeleteThe girls did a beautiful job with their crochet. Some baby is gonna be happy.
ReplyDeleteSome beautiful makes, so nice to get together with like mind people. It is so nice to be able to sit outside and enjoy the weather, long may it last.
ReplyDeleteAnn did a great job of joining the squares. I've gotten a taste of that with all the donations we've received for The Secret Garden. Everyone's tension is different and we get all sorts of donations so it's a jigsaw sometimes putting it all together. I've done a lot of extra rows and edging to get things to fit together. It is always so lovely to get together with like-minded folks for a common cause. Glad to see you enjoyed nice weather. Best wishes, Tammy
ReplyDeleteWow!! So many lovely things you and your friends made :) It is so nice to have crafty friends enjoy the time together.
ReplyDeletePlease can you help me, I'm loving your dungaree pattern, but I cant find the pattern for 3-6 or 6-12 months, please can you tell me if you have it in them sizes xx thankyou
ReplyDeleteHi Aaron no I'm sorry the pattern isn't available in those sizes but it would be easy to adapt the baby dungarees by using a larger hook size and lengthening the legs for the 3-6 month size. I am hoping to make a 6-12 month size as soon as I have the time. :)
DeleteSuper that you had such a nice time together, and what a great deal of lovely makes :-). Wishing you a wonderful summer weekend, enjoy! Nata xxx
ReplyDeleteGreat blankets, baby sweaters and clothes! Oooh, I love that pink one! Everything looks wonderful. We have four of us who get together once a month at church, but we are all quilters....it was open to crocheters too but we haven't had any takers. :-) It's wonderful getting things made for people who need them! Beautiful hydrangea as well!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blankets, sweaters, hats, etc. Linda.

ReplyDeleteWhat lovely makes. The Loving Hands sounds a great thing to be part of. I will think about joining as I craft a lot and will soon end up with far too many handmade products with no where left to place them. Thanks for commenting on my blog. Joan at www.aviewtothefells.com
