Our October gathering

 Quite a lot was achieved on Saturday as well as quite a lot of eating. We four regulars were there and were kept busy. Stephanie and Karen made their mosaic blocks while Elaine did some trimming of her blocks with my very large ruler. Then we all set to trimming and sewing the Bear's Paws.



After lunch Naz and her Mum Jamilla arrived for the afternoon and Naz took these lovely photos for us.


We decided that Jamilla needed a quilt so presented her with one of the Rainbow ones. We might even see Naz and Jamilla again at our gatherings.


We were able to put together the Bear's Paw border on our medalion and it can now grow when decisions are made.

We also put our Mosaic blocks on the design wall. When put up aligned in the normal way they looked far too boring but with a bit of offsetting and turning it now looks quite cool. We still have a few blocks to come in so will wait until next time to make further decisions.

We might even get these last two quilt tops done before the end of the year!

No new fabric draw yet. We should have asked Jamilla or Naz to do that but of course, I forgot.

We had our regulars attend via Zoom and were able to catch up on news and 'show and tell' from others.

News from Jeanette in WA

 Just a few pics of our Hanging. Yet again a great day with over 600 viewers through the door. We spent all day Saturday setting up, Sunday open to the public & Sunday evening pulling it all down again. Some very weary bodies today. 

Around 2 edges of the rec centre we have what are called "Rooms" set up as individual displays.... Christmas  room, Crochet room, From our beginning in 1996 to Now  room, Community quilts room & mine was Hexie room as they call me the Hexie Queen 🤣

We don't realise till each Triennial Hanging, just how clever our members really are. 


















Wow what a show!

You can even see another member's view of the same show here. It is amazing how two people focus on a different selection of quilts.

I think the updating issues are fixed

 This morning I opened my blogs and there were all my friends popping up on the side with their latest entries.


I hope it now continues to sync correctly.
