Hooked Rugs / Wall Hangings
Everyone was advised by Sara to start on a simpler shape like a heart, trust me I chose a tractor! I cut up my little boys old tee shirts to make them each a wall hanging for their rooms.
Hannah really got to grips with hers and finished in a couple of days. Lovely to get a picture back from one of my learners to show that they have continued at home with their new found skill.

Patchwork and Quilting Exhibition September 2014
We have recently held our first exhibition of Patchwork and Quilting here at Cartwheels. The ladies from Dragonfly and Cartwheels sewing groups teamed up and provided us with a vast range of beautiful quilts, wall hangings, cushions and bags to create a wonderful exhibition.
Our chosen charity to benefit from the event was CLIC Sargent which tied in nicely with September being Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. All proceeds from admissions, the raffle, refreshments and 10% from the sales table was donated to CLIC Sargent and we managed to raise a grand total of £805 which was fantastic.
A big thank you to all the ladies that helped over the three days. Also a big thank you to Sue Rowe of Dragonfly Crafts who came up with the idea and collected, labelled and displayed all the exhibits, it looked fantastic!
Patchwork and Quilting Exhibition in aid of CLIC Sargent
Next weekend will be our first Patchwork and Quilting Exhibition here at Cartwheels, please come along and see the lovely work that is being created by local sewing groups and support CLIC Sargent at the same time. The 2015 schedule of workshops for Cartwheels will also be available hot off the press. Hope to see you all here!
Applique Panel Bags with Sue Rowe
Another great workshop today led by Sue Rowe of Dragonfly Crafts. Lots of options were available but hearts were favoured for the applique designs.
