Our April Weekend




It might seem from all the photos that all we did was eat for the weekend. In fact we did do lots of patchwork but our eating was interesting amongst the chaos of laundry renovations that meant we could not use the dining room.

Jane is shown here to prove that we did do some work. The Helen's Stars quilt is now being bound thanks to Robyn completing the quilting around the stars then attaching the binding. Only half way round to hem left.

Our Brown Sampler quilt top is now all together and we are hoping to have it professionally quilted this time. It looks magnificent.

We have drawn Patricia's Cross for our next quilt and some time was spent working out the instructions for this very original design. We now have a few blocks completed and the photo above shows Jane working through the instructions.

We all had a great time and were pleased to welcome Linda to our group for the first time. She is a beginner and is loving it so far.
