Saturday Sit n Sew

Saturday
Evelyn must have steam coming from her quilting room as the finished quilts are coming out thick and fast. She is really mastering the use of her long arm quilter and finishing those UFOs. WELL DONE

 Is realky great to see Andrea and for her to share her beautiful work. The blues look lovely and the hand work I know has taken her a time.

 Another blue and white quilt and the picture does not do it justice. The hand quilting is wonderful. This was made by Karen and a huge congratulations. Lovely to catch up with you again.

All Aboard the Bus

It is nearly a week since our rainy day bus trip so I better hurry and post the few photos I took. As usual there are happy faces dreaming about their next project and the urgent need to empty our purses of our spare cash. Thank goodness for credit cards!

We visited four shops in Ballarat before heading off to Ballan and our tasty lunch at Mill Rose Cottage.

Ready to go!

Take 2! Sheila was told to smile and she did!
Nice to have Julie rejoining us!

It was good to see Lyn back from her world travels but  and I can't 

remember if she or Andrea bought the bird feeder.

This project and others caught the eye of many of us in this lovely shop

This was a very quirky little shop with a mixture of old and new!
Someone scored an old suitcase for some creative adventure.

The appliqué technique on this quilt had us all guessing!
We finally worked it out!

Mill Rose Cottage - what a selection!

Thanks for organising us Gail!  It is no easy feat!

BIg Thank you for Donation

Ann McWaters has kindly donated a SIZZIX cutting tool to the club. This will be kept in the cupboard at St Mary's so if at any time you wish to borrow please ask someone.
A Sizzix machine is a cutting tool and comes with a number of dies. The frabric is put in the machine the die attached and the handle turned. If you are making baby quilts there were a number available to use to cut applique shapes. It is especially useful if you wish to cut a number of layers at one time.

Thank you very much Ann for your generosity
Not sure if this link will work but please look it up if unsure.




We saw the twins hold a lovely quilt which Di had made in a relatively short time. It shows her love of bayik fabric and the ease in which she quilts. Only a few short weeks ago it was in pieces and now. ..... Di is the twin on the left.......... lol. Both have the same love of a certain shop too!

 We also welcomed Chris to join us who brought along some cushions she had made with fabric specific to New Zealand.
