Our August first Saturday gathering

 It was a small group that gathered last Saturday. Just Elaine, Stephanie, Glenda and I.

Our zoom in the afternoon brought in Karen (with Covid), Jeanette, Linda and Heather.

Despite the fact that I have no photos, Jeanette did show us her progress on Jack's Chain with its 1.5" squares and 3.5" hexagons. No doubt she will send through some photos soon but a quick image search on Jacks Chain Quilt with show the variations that are possible. I can see me doing one of these soon. Jeanette is using white as her circle effect and all sorts of colours for her other parts.

So what did our tiny group do? We introduced Glenda to the art of creating pale slabs to fill in the few blank spaces in our latest scrappy quilt. We also trimmed all the blocks to 6" and arranged them in a pleasing manner ready to sew them together.

Our Heather's Purple Spots is coming along and we will be able to incorporate all those 'waste' half square triangles that you all sent back. Thank you.

Our latest block (Sue's Daisies) has been sent back by most people so if yours is still not with me please send it or deliver it soon. Next time we'll put this top together.

Elaine was really quite confused with her latest creation so brought it along to be sorted out. 

It is supposed to look like the one below but to get that the blue spot half square triangles needed to be turned 90 degrees in the blocks Elaine made. We decided that was too much like hard work but hers will look great anyway.

A great day was had by all and of course the food was delicious. See you next time.
