Since Last Time...

Our quilts progress in fits and starts. I had a friend Kerrie come down from Springwood to do a bit of sewing a few weeks ago. We finished her job quite quickly so I rang Elaine and asked if she was up for a spot of tacking with Kerrie and I on the bookcase quilt.

By the time Elaine arrived, Kerrie and I had almost finished the body tacking so we all started to tackle the "border". Quite a physical and mathematical headache but I think we are almost there.

Of course the Posy Quilt is still under my machine. I'll get there eventually.

Once we had had enough of the bookcase quilt we decided to see what the seminole strips looked like so added them to the design wall to ponder over the break. Much discussion and thoughts of how to put it together.

Then just last week we had our Christmas lunch day. Karen G. and daughter Rosalind arrived for a spot of sewing quite early so we finished tacking the "border" of the bookcase quilt and I started sewing the hanging sleeve.

Karen W. and Elaine arrived before it was time to leave for Carss Park.

Sorry there are no pics of us enjoying our lunch. There was Karen W., Karen and Rosalind G, Elaine, Ros, Linda with Olivia and Jessica, and then Kathryn who had walked all the way down from Allawah station, just missing us as we left home.

Back again to mine for a tad more sewing and to examine the Carol's Log Cabin blocks. We've made some decisions and done a bit of trimming.

News that Karen W. has delivered two of our quilts to the Country Women's Association.

That's it for 2019 so until we meet again next year enjoy your break and have a Merry Christmas. If you'd like to come for a pop-up sewing day just let me know via email or phone and we can plan.
