Beautiful warm weather today for our last week of winter. Liz picked up a visitor who came along to join in the fun in the sun. (Will teach unsuspecting ladies in caravan parks to sit out the front of their van sewing!) Bomb Day today and a great little technique for making perfectly cute stars and pinwheels without sewing one edge on the bias. We forgot to take a photo, but wait for all the clever little blocks to appear for the draw next week.

| As predicted some weeks ago, this quilt Cathy was making for her brother-in-law has turned out fantastically. Cathy would attach the waves with fusible interfacing if she was doing it again, as she thinks they are not flat enough. But we're sure the fisherman will love his quilt. Wrinkly waves or not, it is adorable. |

| Jan was ordered to demolish the UFO pile in her sewing room cupboard. The flowers are a panel given to her by daughter and are mostly hand quilted. (This is probably where the WIP became a UFO.) The border was a demonstration in how to do Stack and Slash. The binding is almost on and then a little machine quilting to finish the centre panel and it will be ready to hang on the dining room wall. |

| Jeanette, our visitor from Melbourne, with some very pretty hand made Christmas decorations. There was a special plastic template to use, but apparently it is just a square with the corners cut off and anyone could make them template or not. We hope Jeanette enjoyed the morning and meeting a whole lot of new quilters. |
The Badge Draw today was won by a very excited Elizabeth.
