Our day started at about 10am and by 11:30 we had our quorum for a Show and Tell session.
Ros brought along two quilts with lots of hand sewing on them.
Elaine displayed her yellow and purple quilt made from blocks that were donated to her some years ago. Now all done and ready to give away.
Elaine also showed her progress with an "In Front of TV" project she was given. It is looking amazing so far.
A few people arrived after we'd finished our lunch but of course there was still plenty for them to share.
Meanwhile everyone continued work on either their blocks ready to submit or on quilts we are putting together.
Roslyn was able to demonstrate various techniques to Eve who is just starting out on quilting. The task they almost completed was putting together Stephanie's Bright Stripes.
Carol had a lot of fun completing the border for the bookcase quilt and it now really looks like a bookcase. It is stunning. It is now ready to sandwich next time we gather to work.
After most people had left Kathryn and Eve were able to make their new blocks and learn a lot of techniques they were unfamiliar with.
By now you should have your fabric and instructions for our final block of the year, Lynette's Japanese Star. This block won't be due until the end of January so no panic yet.
Happy Sewing..
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.
