Marmite Jan 2017 12:32pm, 27 Jan 2017 40 posts	0 Marmite What about a basic quilt, both my girls have quilts they made when they were a little younger which they have taken to University not only to keep warm but as a reminder of home when needed.

sallykate Jan 2017 6:37pm, 27 Jan 2017 4,767 posts	0 sallykate With thirteen hours to make something a simple bag or clothing won't take enough time - a small quilt would be a great idea.

EvilPixie Jan 2017 2:44pm, 29 Jan 2017 12,268 posts	0 EvilPixie i'm going to attempt using more than 1 colour this week at craft club as I'm making a hat for gnome with storm troopers on it. Along the lines of the sheep hat that has become so popular ... tempted by that too!
Meglet Jan 2017 4:56pm, 29 Jan 2017 17,643 posts	0 Meglet Like the hat idea EP This is what I made at the fused glass session last week. And a coaster as well. We were able to design and make our own ideas so I'm chuffed how this has turned out. I took my Teens for their Christmas present so they have some nice pieces too
