My sewing machine was tied up with quilting of Carol's Peach. Stephanie and I shared that job. Not quite finished yet but it will be off the machine by our next get-together.
I have worked out a way to quilt around each dark pink square without turning the quilt in too many circles in the process. I hope to finish this quilting before we meet again.
Karen G, Carol and Elaine worked together on the borders of Christine's Windmills and at the same time Karen W and Carol worked on putting together Helen's Blue Spots. Both these quilts did not inspire us until we started auditioning borders and at last they have both come together very well.
Christine's Windmills still needs borders finished next time we meet.
The finished quilt top of the Blue Spots now looks fabulous and worthy of putting on a bed. Next time we will need to sandwich this quilt reading for quilting and binding.
Because we had space on the design wall we put up the blocks we have for Karen's Blue and Brown Spots. Unfortunately we have not yet received all the blocks back so will wait for those before we can finalise layout and size. If you have any fabric and/or blocks from any of our projects please send them all back to me asap as we do need the excess fabric for corners, replacement blocks etc.
I have received some of the aboriginal stripe blocks back but not all yet.
Because we are now down to the last quilt in our pile we have chosen another fabric - Helen's Sunflowers - and a suitable block. I will post out the fabric soon and write the instructions to go with it.
Thank you to all those who work so busily on our quilting weekends. See you next time I hope. Remember, if you need a fabric fix beforehand just contact me to make a time.
Meanwhile, now that I am not in continual pain I hope to do a bit of tidying and sorting upstairs as everyone was complaining it is a mess!
