Just 4 of us gathered on Saturday for our pop-up quilting day but we did progress a little with our quilts on the go.
Of course there was the lovely lunch under our bookcase quilt.
We pillowcased Stephanie's Bright Stripes and then I started quilting it but we really need to pin or baste the layers together before proceeding. Elaine got the horrible job of unpicking the bit of quilting I had done.
Then we decided to start really thinking about the Seminole pieces and how to put them together to make them work as two single bed quilts. Some strips needed extensions added and even some embellishments to fill empty places.
Rather than losing the zig-zags on some strips we had a go at appliqueing them to the dividing strip.
In all lots of thinking, discussing options and laughing of course, and not very many expletives were heard.
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.
