Today Karen G and Stephanie arranged a playdate at mine to have a pop-up sewing day.
Karen almost finished her latest block, using up some of my stash - hooray! The tacking on the Gorilla quilt was finished too.
Stephanie sewed together Robyn's Retro and it is looking amazing.
Meanwhile I finished all the machine stitching on my Gorilla quilt (thanks Jenny for the orphan block donation). It is all done with orphan blocks except for the last border. I'll put a pic of it up when it is properly finished.
Arianne spent the day cutting out on the dining table then sewing upstairs so it was a real hive of industry with lots of achievements made.
Yesterday Fred came to put a new belt on the treadle machine which is now working well. He also cleaned my Janome and showed me how to do it properly. I then replaced all needles in the machine and all blades in the rotary cutters. All is working well now.
If you would like to arrange a pop-up sewing day just email or ring and we can plan our day.
We started in 2007 with a quilt made one very rainy weekend with friends from across Sydney and across the world connected by patchwork and quilting. Our members have included quilters and novices from far and wide - NSW, Victoria, Western Australia and Queensland (Australia), New Zealand, Massachusetts and Connecticut (USA), N.Ireland, Cornwall, Shropshire and Wales (UK). All our quilts are for charity, either raffled to earn money or donated directly to a nearby charity.
