One cold Saturday in June

Last Saturday we joined together once more and had a most productive weekend. In the last few weeks Jen has started her quilting venture and has made her first block so she, Geoff and Ivy visited. I'm sure Ivy will be making blocks soon too.

Some achievements included...

Tacking the "Heather's Purple Flowers" sandwich. This is now ready for quilting.

Adding more borders to the "Bright Flowers" quilt top. It is now ready for tacking.

Creating a border of the tiny left-over ends for our "Aztec Star" quilt.

Putting Twister blocks donated by Jenny onto the design wall ready to think about. Jenny has no desire to continue with this quilt so we'll make something special from the blocks I'm sure. These blocks are in lieu of our next lucky dip as we have quite a few quilts on the go.

Putting our "Valerie's Liberty" onto the design wall. We are one block short so Carol has volunteered to do the extra one needed.

As usual much fun was had chatting and eating. Arianne was finishing her coat for TAFE and it can be seen in the background.

Of course everyone had a cuddle of Ivy.

I could not resist the photo of our two supervisors...

Thanks to all who came and those who sent their blocks back.

By the way, if anyone knows a patchworker who does not live in Sydney and would like to join our group it would be great to have some more distance members. The room is crowded with us all (and our occasional visitors) but distance members would be great. Many who had been working with us have now left the group for various health or commitment reasons.
