Our June Quilting Day

We had 5 workers today - Elaine, Carol, Kathryn, Linda and of course me. Karen W had told me she would not be there as she and Alastair had a concert. However, Karen ended up in hospital in intensive care with some undiagnosed issue. Thoughts of pneumonia or something she contracted up north with me. Get well soon Karen!

We had to cope with one less bathroom as mine is currently being renovated.

Our day was very productive. Carol was first to arrive and we started by taking out all the taking from the Hughenden Lights quilt. This meant we had a completion for the day and so did our draw. Kathryn won the quilt but has yet to decide whether she will keep it or donate it to charity. It still needs to be photographed on a good day before it can leave us.

Carol then took on the quilting of Karen's Blue Spots which leaves it to just get binding, a label and a photograph.

Elaine, Linda and Kathryn brought homework to  complete before helping with other projects.

We spent some time working out how to complete Christine's Posy quilt and bring out the beautiful waves that had appeared. I do think we've got it. Kathryn spent a lot of time cutting white sashing after some discussion around the best colour for the sashing. We have now decided that a dark green line around the shape before adding the white remaining triangles will really accentuate the posies. We still have one posy to add so if you are the person who took that home to complete please let me know or bring it next time.

The quilting of Karen's Blue Spots is finished and it is looking good. The binding has been chosen and is ready to cut.

More decisions have been made about borders for the Sunflowers and the Purple quilts' borders so they are ready to add next time.

It was a happy day chatting and working together and much was achieved.  We all wish Karen all the best and hope to see her next time. Thanks for all the work and fun.
