Community sewing day, October 2019

Our community sewing days are very enjoyable, and often quite varied ...

Elaine B is sewing pink blocks that a child will love
into a fun quilt top.
Pretty Dresden plate blocks are emerging from
Elaine W's sewing machine


Helen showed us Cluck Cluck Sew's method for making
a fabric rose - we are making Fearless Flowers in support
of the Pink Meets Teal campaign to raise awareness
and funds for ovarian cancer.

They are fun to make, and an opportunity to use up scraps
of almost any size and colour. We'll add a felt backing and
brooch pin with a hot glue gun. Others are making felt flowers,
We might graduate to flowers on stems!

Miriam turned this colourful pile of large scraps into ...

... a small zippered pouch, to help stock the craft stall
at our quilt show in April 2020.

Reverse of the pouch.

Sue started a new quilt in a layout similar to Susan's recent
quilt finish, but with the light and dark pieces in reverse.
Susan was away, and unable to consult on the size of the
pieces, so Sue, being a mathematician, used simultaneous
equations to work them out - as you do! 

We take advantage of the large tables at our community venue
for our own quilts too - Nerida thread basted this gorgeous
version of Sarah Fielke's 'Down the Rabbit Hole'
block of the month, with help from Noelle ... 

... and Jill squared up her artful improv quilt ready for binding.
