Karen and family arrived for morning tea but Karen was unable to stay long as they had all be up for an airport drop at some unearthly hour.
Stephanie came in time to meet Karen and family and brought a beautiful mandarin cake. Linda brought chicken for lunch and we three enjoyed chicken sandwiches and cake together.
Progress upstairs included...
Photographing our Glimpses of Japan quilt. I'd been unable to photograph this whole quilt until I resurrected Surrey's Quilt Photographing System. So here is a better photo...
Borders were attached to Christine's Windmills. This one is now ready to sandwich.
We have completed the centre of Ann's Aboriginal quilt top. We are now in the process of auditioning fabrics and colours for the borders.
Our last task was to debate the last Lucky Dip fabric - Lynette's Egyptian. We have decided to make a bookcase quilt with this one so do a few internet searches for ideas. I'll be sending out the fabric soon and hope you will be inspired by this novelty quilt.
Our next gathering will not be until February so there will be plenty of time to complete all the blocks you currently have and return them to me. Don't forget to send your Lucky Dip fabric too. We have now finished our basket load. I already have two new ones for us to start the new year with. Always plenty to go on with. I have emailed dates for next year so make sure you add them to your diary now.
Merry Christmas to you all and happy quilting in the New Year.
