A day out with Karen M.

 Yesterday I met Karen M., one of the Chookshed Stitchers, at Circular Quay. Although she lives in Sydney we had only met on Zoom before, never in person.

After morning tea at City Extra we walked up over the hill through The Rocks to the Finger Wharves.

 

There are some lovely views with old and new Sydney juxtaposed.

Then lunch at The Gateway then headed for the Royal Botanic Gardens for a quick visit to Surrey's tree. It really seems to be thriving.

Thank Karen for a lovely day and good company. By the time I got home I had done 17600 steps!

May Gathering

 Last Saturday our small band of hard working ladies all cursed me. I had brought home lots of scrap fabric from Baradine donated by the Scrub Stitchers. So I set the task for the day was to cut the fabric pieces into standard sized squares or strips for use in later projects.

We had our usual Show and Tell over Zoom with Jo and Janice and here are a few below. I forgot to photograph Elaine's quilt.

Stephanie's inspiring new blocks

Karen's version of Leaders and Enders

Three finished quilt tops and quilts and more strips to put together

The same block that Stephanie is making but this one is made from Surrey's shirts.

We welcome our possible new members Sue (Victoria), Tina (Campbelltown) and Deana (Utah).
