Community sewing day, July

 Just a little of the action at our community sewing day last week - it was busy all day, with an enthusiastic band learning new skills as well as working on existing ones.

Yvette is making a multi-bladed Dresden Plate design,
using a fabric pack donated by Elaine.

We pin-basted two quilts for Julie, and sent her home
with backing for two more.

Roslyn and Jo-Ann learned how to use a Go Cutter, and cut
 through lots of fabrics in varied shapes, assisted by a team
of fabric choosers, ironers and cutters.  

The small scraps were put through again to cut smaller shapes,
and great fun was had.

Sue C handed her finished Superstars top (design by Miriam)
over to Yvette for quilting.

An emergency pin-baste of a baby quilt for Jill's daughter
who was only in town briefly for it to be quilted and bound.

Another Miriam design made up by Jill, 'In a Whirl' is much
quicker to make than it looks, ideal for scraps, adaptable in
size - all very suited to community quilt making.

Some of the somewhat scrappy blocks and sashing
- about to be pin-basted.
