There were plenty of parks in the carpark today. (Which makes me wonder why I parked under the tree with all the birds sitting in it!) It was definitely a small but select group but quilting fun was had as usual.
It was also meeting day and there was a good roll up of committee members who sorted out much business for the coming 9 months. Thank you ladies.
The monthly raffle today was won by Kay and Marilyn won the Badge Draw.
This Saturday 14 October is the Monthly Sat Sew-in and there is a hastily called Sewing Bee (to get another one in before the end of the year) next week on Thursday, Friday, Saturday 19, 20, 21 October.
Only two ladies participated in Show and Tell today.
Marion has finished her quilt featuring different quilting patterns done using the Westalee Rulers that Janome had a demonstration on some months ago. The quilted samples were sewn together Quilt-As-You-Go. Marion is pointing out the black sashing between the blocks which disappeared into the black samples so she had to change it to a spotted fabric.

Marion also brought along her Glacier Star quilt that she completed in 2014. It was her first Judy Niemeyer foundation pieced pattern. It is quite large as can be seen by its inability to fit on the stage but it is also a colourful and intricately pieced quilt. Thank you for bringing it along Marion.
One of 'Joan's Ladies', whom she taught to quilt, presented her with a pack of fabrics at the Sarina Quilt Show. It was a pack of 16 fat quarters put together by Needleworx. Joan decided to use her 60 degree triangle ruler to make this dramatic looking Night Garden quilt.
This Boomerang pattern had Joan using her 60 degree triangle ruler again to use up light and dark scraps. Joan is going to do a workshop on this quilt next year. You sew light and dark strips together, cut the triangles out and sew them together in diagonal lines. Looks like a great way to use up scraps, so stay tuned!
