We're off to a good start with three meetings this week, including a sit and sew / community sewing day. Here is the first batch of show and tell ...
 |
| Janice won first prize in an online sew-along for the Christmas stocking she made for her granddaughter (on the right), so she made a new one for her grandson as well. Congratulations Janice, we are not at all surprised that your beautiful work won the prize!. |
 |
| Sue started the year well, wth the last stitches in her 'Little Miss April' (pattern by Margaret Sampson George) sewn on 1 January. It is finished with a classic English knife edge seam rather than binding. Not bad for a novice English paper piecer and hand quilter! |
 |
| Everyone loves Miss April's backing! |
 |
| Hilary used the summer break to finish her SuperStars quilt top, made entirely of batiks, many from a 2019 trip to Bali. |
 |
| Elsa bought a kit, but thought she would have difficulty making it. So Yvette cut it out, Dawn pieced it, and now Elsa finds she really likes it. Great team work. |
 |
| Sewing days are a great opportunity to enlist extra hands and use the big tables to baste quilt tops. Jo-Ann plans to machine quilt concentric circles on her Zen Chic Moda quilt. |
 |
| Robin strip pieced a Christmas tablecloth for her family, that was very well received, and happily stayed on the table for every meal in Christmas Day. |
 |
| A Christmas gift of a Cri-Cut machine has kept Daphne happily busy. |
 |
| Nerida has been enjoying her 'Bessie Creek Road', using her lovely fabric stash. |
 |
| Lyn is developing her already considerable quilting skills, practising with her free motion quilting rulers on her domestic machine. |
