We had 30 brave ladies who turned up to craft in "sauna" like conditions this morning. I am sure that we were all thinking about how lovely it would be at home in air-conditioning BUT at home we would not have had the companionship that we get and enjoy at our meeting point. Many of our members are looking forward to the 3 day sewing bee this week-end to be held at the Women's Centre in Shakespeare Street. I'm sure that a great number of projects will be undertaken over these 3 days - some may even be completed!
Our Show & Tell items for the morning are below.
Marion was the lucky winner of the Badge Draw.

| Deane used Foundation Piecing to complete this Cynthia White designed quilt. It was featured in APQ magazines as a Block of the Month project. Deane kept a count of how many individual pieces were needed to create the quilt and the grand total is 2500. Deane's youngest granddaughter will receive this for her 18th birthday. The backing is shown below. The fabric is by Kaffe Fassett and Deane purchased this from a patchwork shop in Bunbury WA - one of her many favourite haunts. |

| These coil baskets are the end result of Sue's first attempt at this technique. Sue has used 5mm rope inside the strips of fabric. I think we can all agree that she seems to have mastered this technique on her first attempt. |

| The 2 photos above show the Christmas stocking that Vivian made for her granddaughter. It features an "A" monogram embroidered on the front and silk ribbon embroidery on the back. A very impressive stocking. |

| In 1995 Lesley won blocks at the Moranbah Show & Tell. No, she hasn't taken that long to complete it! She cannot remember when she actually put it together and she only brought it to show today because she was talking about it the week before and a number of ladies could remember her winning the blocks but couldn't remember seeing the finished article. |
 |
| The backing also looks impressive. |
 |
| Anne has made the above dresses for her granddaughter who had grown out of her favourite purchased dress. She gave the old dress to Anne so that she could make a pattern from it so that the finished article would be the same. Anne is confident that she has nailed it! |
