Sewing day!

Twelve of us yesterday enjoyed our first sewing day since mid-March, adhering to distancing, disinfection, cleaning and ‘no sharing’ restrictions required by the current NSW Public Health Order. It was so good to catch up, and to actually see our recent quilts. We also handed in stacks of community quilts - here are just some of them, more photos to come.

Lynette has been particularly focussed on finishing a major contribution to our community collection. She brought in the first sixteen quilts that she has finished from donated blocks, panels from a charity shop and some that she has made from start to finish. And she still has some to be getting on with. Sterling effort, Lynette - thank you.

Lynette and Robyn took some stash donations to 
The Sewing Basket, and came away with a trove of panels 
to make up as children’s quilts.

A large collection of churn dash blocks from another
 member’s mother made this quilt and two more.

These two quilt tops were pieced by Robin W from her vibrant 
Kaffe Fasset stash, and were quilted and bound by Lynette.

The quilt on the left was pieced by Dawn, using fabric 
donated by a former member and quilted by Lynette. 
The one on the right is one of the panels from 
The Sewing Badket

Lynette made these blocks herself, many years ago, and
assembled them into a large quilt top that was never finished.
She has now disassembled them and made two smaller quilts,
with another still in progress.Their classic design and
colour palette has not dated.

Pieced from the community stash.

Another set of donated blocks, finished from
Lynette's own stash.
