Not quite as many in attendance this Wednesday as we had at the Biggest Morning Tea, but if we had beaten last week, it wouldn't have been the biggest would it? Good to see the two Heathers back after a while, Deane returned from a quick trip to Adelaide and Iris has returned too, bringing those lovely pumpkin scones of hers. Welcome back ladies.
It was Committee Meeting and In-House Demo Day.
Brenda brought her machine and lots of little squares to show how to match seams perfectly with fork pins. It was amazing that so many had never seen fork pins, or had bought them once and never used them. Thanks for illuminating us all to the advantages of fork pins Brenda.
April's Bomb blocks of Log Cabin Chevron were collected. There was no draw this month as Lesley and Jan are putting them together to show how recycled fabrics can make a colourful and thrifty wagga. (You'll have to go to the Greenmount Fair to see the finished wagga on display.)
Beth had two quilts finished for friends from a jelly roll pattern called Square Dance. Beth just used her fabric scraps though. One had a polar fleece backing and was quite heavy and cuddly. The other was more suited to the tropics.
Beth also finished this little cot panel for her sister-in-law's first grandchild. You've got to love Pooh and Piglet and Tigger.
Joan made this lovely dragonfly table runner as she was out of projects and needed something to do.
One of those embroidery projects from a couple of weeks ago has been finished.
Marlena is ready for Christmas.
Marlena is ready for Christmas.
And Elizabeth is so proud of finishing this for grandson Xavier's bedroom before he goes to school. (The projects were getting smaller and smaller!)
Brenda has made this bright and colourful pinwheel quilt with the tricky laced boxes.
Jan has completed a wagga for our Greenmount display. Made in true wagga fashion using whatever fabric and orphan blocks were found in the cupboard and sewing without thinking. It has a very old flannelette sheet as backing and is tied with brown thread.
Our charity quilt back from the quilters. Can't see the quilting in a photo like this, but it has large gum leaves and nuts all over it which really fits the "Home Among the Gum Tree" theme. Many thanks to Marcie from Marcie's Quilting Service in Townsville who did the quilting without charge for us. And thanks to Heather for bringing it back from Townsville for us. Just binding and label to go now!
Heather C won the monthly raffle and Iris won the badge draw.
