We are certainly nearing summer - only 1 more week to suffer in the hot conditions for this year!

28 ladies did not let the heat put them off attending and I'm sure that we were all pleased that we did.

The heat is also not putting some of our ladies off completing their quilts, etc.  Air-conditioned sewing rooms certainly help.

Saturday sewing is on this Saturday and remember that it will continue over the break - every second and fourth Saturday of the month.

Diana won the Badge Draw again - that is twice is as many months!!

Liz made this hexagon quilt while she was on her cruise.

This quilt is made using Dinosaur themed fabric.  Both of Liz's quilts will be donated to the Women's Centre.

Kaye made this scrappy quilt using left over fabric from members of the Carlyle Crafters.  She took the scrappy look to the next level by adding an appliqued floral inset border.  Kaye intends to donate the finished quilt back to the Carlyle Crafters group.

Anne has made this Jelly Roll Race quilt titled, "Ahoy Me Hearties",  as a birthday gift for her sister.   The appliqued sea themed objects up the side certainly add that "extra something" to the quilt.  The quilting was done by Judy Easton.

Deane has made this quilt for her Great Grandchild due in mid-December.  The quilt is machine pieced with the applique all needle turned.

Marlena has embroidered these serviettes for her Christmas table.  3 done and only 3 more to go!

Marilyn has been busy making Christmas gifts for her three Granddaughters.  This is a Toy Bag featuring machine-embroidered Painted Ponies.  After the embroidery was complete, of course Marilyn had to then piece the bag together.

These are the Reading Pillows for the two older Granddaughters.  Marilyn has machine embroidered their favourite Disney characters on to the large, snuggly cushions.  All of this done with a moon boot on - well done, Marilyn.

Cathy has made this Christmas table runner using 5" squares left over from a 2016 project.  She still has many squares left over and will be thrilled to pass them on to anyone who would like them!!

Cathy has come up with this after being inspired by a table runner that was on display at the Bowen Quilter's Fair earlier this year.  I do believe that she was able to cut up some of the dreaded 5" squares.

Our President, Delma, thanked the members who have worked on making these bags.  They are filled with toiletries and will be distributed to homeless women through the "Share the Dignity" program.  Well done ladies.
