Six of us gathered one August Saturday and achieved so much of our various quilting tasks. Unfortunately my large sewing machine had died a week or so before so I was unable to use it for any work. It came down to my small Singer and Glenda's machines. I have now taken my sewing machine to 'the man' and it looks as though it may not have died completely. However, it means no actual quilting until I get it back or buy a new one, or both.
We tacked the Green Stars quilt so it is now ready for quilting.
We put Party Lights blocks on the board and have bordered Jeanette's Briar Rose and sashed and bordered our Shiny Blue squares. Glenda's Flowers are complete and Glenda, as the winner, has elected to donate it to charity.
We drew another fabric (actually it was a block design we drew) and discussed how we are going to achieve the results we'd like. I will eventually write up some instructions and send them out.
It is really great to have people back here and work being done together. Don't forget, if you have any time on Tuesday afternoons/evenings to join us on
Creative Zoomers just email me and I can send you the link. We have lots of fun creating together without having to travel anywhere.
Well 'that's it folks' until our September gathering.
