October sewing day

Once a month we sew together for several hours, either on community quilts or our own. It’s a good time to consult with others, or find help with something we’re stuck on. Sometimes we pass a quilt on to someone else to work on, or we collaborate to baste quilts on large tables (no-one’s favourite part of quilting, or prepare them for a long arm quilter. Sometime we just chat, drink tea or coffee, eat together, or look at fabric, rearrange the stash or have a bit of a sort and clear. We’ve been doing it for more than twelve years now, so it must be working. Here are some of the things we did recently …

Susan sewed lots of little strips together …

… but there was a plan.

One of two wonky tree quilts made from
the blocks made at the AGM …

… constructed and quilted by Nerida.
 Both now added to our community collection.



Hilary is attaching the binding to a rescue quilt
 - finished photos soon!

Nerida is making a modern quilt for a nephew turning 18.

Noelle made this large quilt some time ago,
and it has found a home with a Lismore family
affected by the floods.
