Saturday Sewing 14 October 2017

Seeing the Blogsperson with the camera went to Saturday Sewing, it seemed appropriate to show you what goes on there. The room we use is wonderfully roomy, light and airy (Too light for photos to be taken well actually.) and air conditioned AND they have tables on wheels! It is all too lovely for seven hours uninterrupted sewing. And we weren't responsible for setting off the alarm so that was good too! Plus, there was  carrot cake, lunch, coffee and chatting. And we all learnt some things as well. It's always good when someone sees an easier way to do something than you were intending to do!

Helen stitched the binding to her quilt. A few nights hand stitching in front of TV ahead now.

Marilyn only carried in one small container as she was doing hand work. Some lovely sashiko with multicoloured thread.

Di was in One Block Wonder land - and shall be for some time.

Marilyn is making a very cute double sided Kombi playmat.

Vera is making a memory quilt for her mother who spent a long time in Kuranda - hence the butterflies and rainforest colours. 

Liz is quilting this one in pink thread. She marked the quilt, pinned it and got a fair bit of hand quilting done.

Brenda's blocks were coming out from under the machine at a great rate. Until she found that the diagram and the photo in the pattern did not match. Luckily she had some help to correct the mistakes.

Lesley got half the Tulip charity quilt together and got some useful advice about borders and binding.

And, unfortunately, Cathy's project photo was not on the camera card. She did work hard though and got a couple of blocks pieced and explained her special Quilt-As-You-Go method to everyone as well.

It was a Saturday well spent. Thanks to all.
