Because I had to squeeze our July and August quilting weekends between holidays we had two quilting days on consecutive weekends. Although we were small in number we had Pernilla visiting from Sweden for one day and Geoff and family came home from house hunting on the Saturday.
Much activity produced near completion of two quilts. We still have a few seams on the hexagon quilt to hand sew but it is looking quite good, if a bit small. It will just be a knee rug.
Our sampler quilt is looking quit stunning and only needs some corners before it is sandwiched. So there is still plenty to do in September.
We started sewing the strips of the windmill blocks together but that still needs to be completed.
Arianne had a great time (ha ha!) sewing a traditional tutu. She ended up with aching fingers and eyes.
We did not have a fabric draw as we have quite a number of quilts on the go. We'll probably do so in September though.
We started in 2007 with a quilt made one very rainy weekend with friends from across Sydney and across the world connected by patchwork and quilting. Our members have included quilters and novices from far and wide - NSW, Victoria, Western Australia and Queensland (Australia), New Zealand, Massachusetts and Connecticut (USA), N.Ireland, Cornwall, Shropshire and Wales (UK). All our quilts are for charity, either raffled to earn money or donated directly to a nearby charity.
