Below are a few pics of Jeanette's recent retreat. Hers is the 6.5" squares sewn into a queen size quilt on the table. A girl who used to work with her asked if she could make 3 quilts from her husband's shirts for their adult kids. He died about 7 years ago. She said ... random, nothing fancy and backed with fleece. So that was my project. Jeanette has nearly completed 2. The girl had cut the shirts up along the seams but had them tied in bundles for years, so the ironing took forever... there are many, many shirts!! So Jeanette cut many, many, many 6.5" squares!
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.
