Community quilts in progress

Its looking good for our community sewing days to be getting back to normal, at least in terms of the numbers that can attend, as long as suppression of COVID-19 by community transmission holds as vaccines are rolled out. In the meantime, sewing continues ...

Dawn has completed another SuperStars quilt top with 

a pretty small scale blue print for the background - the 

white star points highlight the secondary design 

of windmills between the stars. We'll take another 

look when it has been quilted.

Quilt express! Julie put her hand up when Jo mentioned
during a recent Monday Zoom meeting that she found this
fabric pack during her recent house move. Jo delivered
them to Julie on Wednesday, and the quilt top was
completed on Saturday.
'It was just measuring, cutting and sewing,' said Julie ...

Sue is sewing up a pile of scrappy blocks in 

a controlled palette of rusty oranges and tealy 

greens, based on an Instagram sew-along run by 

two Sydney quilters late last year. She is aiming for 36 

blocks, that will look something like this mock-up 

prepared with the Layout app.To see more versions

Helen has two community quilts on the go at
the moment - a striking black, white and red
graphic design ...

... and the other will be these crisp scrappy green
and blue blocks, offset against a white background.
The pattern is from Camille Roskelly's book,
'Simply Retro'

Helen donated a collection of bright flannels, and Julie
has made one top, with enough remaining for another.
Getting ready for the cooler weather.
