11 September 2019

23 ladies were present this morning. We must be busy doing other things in our lives as our Show and
Tell session was very short.

You may remember that Jean has made the above table runner "Magic Mountain" featuring red fabric for her sister.  This one is for herself.  The gold fabric was purchased by Jean to make a new outfit for a clown that her daughter had from childhood.  Unfortunately her daughter didn't like the fabric, so Jean bought co-ordinating fabrics and went ahead and made the above item.  It looks beautiful.

Marilyn won the badge draw this morning and Marion was the lucky winner of the monthly raffle.

4 September 2019

31 ladies enjoyed our morning of handiwork and "catching up".  It was great to see our numbers creeping up.

Carol was the lucky winner of our Badge Draw this morning.

The following items were presented in our Show and Tell session.

Anne's Granddaughter requested a puppy for her 10th birthday so Anne was thrilled when she saw a picture of a pieced "shaggy" dog in a magazine and got to work drafting the pattern and made the above out of flannelette. She is hoping that her granddaughter will be happy with her dog!

The Attic Windows quilt using Australian fabric in the background is going to California to Anne's  daughter-in-law's mother who loves everything with an Australiana theme.  She will love this.

Marion has made a Bali bag and had many strips left over.  She has used "some" of these to make the pouch above and the "sew-all, carry-all" below.  She is now looking for other projects to use up the remaining strips.
 


The above quilt has been made for the Women's Centre by a group of Liz's friends from the caravan park. I am sure that this will be the first of a number projects that Liz has in store for the ladies and what a wonderful way to get together.

Robyn has made the above bag which is cut from a pair of jeans.  It is fully lined and also has a number of pockets inside. It is embellished with sequins and embroidery applique.  Robyn is keeping this one for herself.

Diana has made the above mat after starting it in an in-house workshop. It is made using a batik jelly roll and wadding.  This mat has been claimed by her cousin.
