A donation quilt.
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.

Three finished quilts to draw
Stephanie and I have finished three quilts during our lockdown and I present them here. We saw them on Zoom yesterday but if you click on them here you can see them a bit better.
They all look great in real life. Thank you for your blocks.
Rather than draw between everyone and then have them turned down in a bit of a process we thought it would possibly work better if anyone who would like to be in the draw actually just emails me to put their name down. I will then draw between the requests I get. Closing date for name submission is Sunday 3rd October 2021.
If I receive no name requests the quilts will go to charity.
In future please return your blocks by then end of the month after which you received your fabric. So for those who have received their fabric Sep 2021 please return the blocks by the end of Oct 2021.Wednesday, September 15, 2021

Elaine's latest table runners
I like the little peeper on the border of the second mat.
And some seminole in the bottom mat too.
They look great Elaine.

Elaine's Fidget Mat
Elaine has completed her Fidget Mat for her grandgirls. They has asked for one. I love the marble track.
It looks amazing with lots of fidgety things to do and textures to feel. I hope they are pleased.

Bubble Buddies get working
Stephanie and I had a great time this week as Bubble Buddies.
Stephanie has quilted Elaine's sampler and I am in the process of binding it in front of TV.
We have nearly finished the Snowball quilt top but it needs another border yet. We'll get onto that next Tuesday when we get together again.
This Tuesday we got out the Wonky Stars and today we finished making sense of them so we have now finished that quilt top.

Betty's Leaders and Enders done
I just finished hemming this one in time for our Zoom this afternoon. I really like it so I hope you do too.
I still have to trim all the end threads and label it but to all intents and purposes it is done.
Now to find a home for it.
