On Saturday our group met together both in real life and on zoom.
Our latest challenge is to create a strip each of each of 6 colours in any way you like. It is a real stash buster challenge. In 6 months we will have enough strips for 6 quilts and can spend the rest of the year putting them together. The strips can be any width but at least 56" long. Our display so far is quite impressive and the only one of our colours not represented in this photo is orange.
In the afternoon we had our usual zoom but unfortunately quite a few people were late getting on which is an issue when I can only book a 40 minute zoom session.
I was able to do my usual walk around the room showing progress so far on some of our projects.
Then of course there was 'show and tell' (more on that later).
Stephanie's mountains, here held for display by Alec, was amazing. Foundation paper piecing.
Elaine had been given all these strips an created this colourful queen size quilt. We were all pleased that Alec was here to hold it up with Stephanie.
Stephanie's show and tell is an Easter Egg bowl.
My grand daughter Ivy had helped create the flimsy for this quilt and Elaine was able to bind it.
Stephanie has almost finished the binding on our second 'shadows' quilt after I quilted it in the morning.
Karen put the final border on our flowers quilt and we have chosen binding for this one too.
There is one flimsy left to complete next time we gather.
In all it was a lovely day together and the air con worked so we did not expire upstairs.
So our homework is to finish our strips at the rate of one per month and be there next time either in person or on zoom.
Happy stitching and stash busting.
