Fairholme Quilters are in demand ... lots of diary clashes last week reduced our monthly community sewing day crew to just four, but we made good progress. By three o'clock our roll of batting was all but depleted and ten quilts were well on the way to being finished ... while one more is a bit of an idea, perhaps ...

| We have our quilt labels printed on white Kona cotton, by Spoonflower - the website guides you through the online submission process once the design is prepared. We order 2m of printed fabric at a time (two - three yearly), giving us about 180 labels, and we have found the soft labels easy to sew by hand or machine. |
 |
| We pieced backing and pin basted these quilts plus two others. A friend of Lynette's generously donated two pieced tops. |
 |
| These five quilts plus one other have their bindings attached to the front, ready to be hand finished |
 |
| Dawn is diligently working her way through a stash of plaids donated by Helen two years ago. We think this is the tenth quilts made from that one donation, plus a few complementary fabrics from the community stash. |
 |
| The fourth (of five) of our Pittwater quilts is now ready for Lynette to quilt and bind. |
 |
| Leftovers from a raffle quilt made in 2013 ... can we wrangle them into another quilt with some improvised piecing? |
