Little things …

It’s not all big quilts on our sewing agenda …

Linda is a senior HSC marker, leading a team of 30 teachers
during the short, intense period of exam marking. To thank
them as a team and individually she has made them each a
colourful pieced and quilted mug rug with an appliqued
heart, making up a 🌈 of appreciation, after a challenging
two years for all teachers. Good one, Linda!

Hilary added a padded top to an IKEA timber box, and 
surprised a delighted fellow quilter with it as a gift. 
The box is 10” across, 4”deep, a very useful size. 

The fabric top is covering three layers of batting glued to a
cardboard template, fitted into the recessed lid. 
The hexagon panel was made by her as the beginning
of a quilt that was abandoned.

It is currently housing a growing collection of 8”
twisted hexagons in preparation for a quilt
(that will be finished!)

Helen is not starting a new large quilt until her current
 works in progress are finished.
She has nevertheless found some small new things to make,
 starting 2022 with an enjoyable day putting together a pouch
from vintage linen, cotton and braid.



A collection of small drawstring bags Helen has made for our
next craft stall … no date is in sight yet!



Helen’s latest drawstring bag - these will be very popular!
