New Beginnings – decorative alternatives to ribbed bands
This month we had a theme – new beginnings – were we looked at a variety of edges that can be used instead of or as well as ribbing.
April, Anu and Frances both demonstrated some unusual edges. It can be a real boon to have some easy edges that can be made on the main bed if you do not use or have not got a ribber for your machine. Many current garments are tunic style and do not need a rib at the main hem so these can easily make the garment more interesting and unique without using the standard hem.

Annual Club Competition, Stars and Cushions
In addition to the theme, February is the club’s competition night. This year, there were two themes – the first was to make a cushion cover whilst the second was to create an item with a star theme, this could be a garment or any other item.
There are two classes: novice for anyone who has never won a competition before and standard for everyone who has won in the past or works to a high standard.
Our worthy winners were:
Beryl – who won the novice cushion cover category for a cream cushion with tassels on the corners .
