Only Three but Lots Done

We were only three last Saturday - Karen, Carol and Betty - but we achieved a lot.


Our first task was to finish the hemming on Christine's Wild Windmills quilt and sew on the label. Carol took on this task. Jeanette won the quilt and opted to donate it to charity.



Karen took on the borders on her Blue and Brown spot quilt.


It is looking good so far. The challenge will be the mitred corners on the striped border.


Lunch was had under my attempt to hang my Japanese tiny quilt collection.



Another task that was achieved was to start the sashing of Heather's Sunflowers.


After I had added the yellow border and cut the binding we also chose the backing for Ann's Aboriginal lopsided log cabins. The backing is shown below - two pieces of batik with a black strip added. This is now ready to sandwich and tack next time.


Again we thought it best not to draw another fabric as we still have about 6 unfinished quilts. Plenty to do when you come everyone. We have Cathy's Purple disappearing nine-patch still on the design wall as well as the Bookcase blocks and the Posy blocks still in their boxes.
