Spring

In Australia the 1st of September is officially the first day of Spring.  Well the first Thursday, our meeting day, was actually the seventh, but for me that is close enough.

We had another busy day.  We conduct our business while we have lunch.  Today we decided that we would send 10 children's quilts, 18 lap quilts and 10 singles to the Burwood Women's and Girls Emergency Centre.  Our new member Helen, has been churning out knitted and crocheted hats and scarves.  These will go to the Burwood Centre too.

We planned our Christmas lunch (very important business!!).  Robin has been kind enough to offer to host again.  It will be on 30th November, and will be our last meeting for the year.

Next came the Show and Tell for this meeting.

Made by Dasha, quilted by Cheryl.  This fabric was donated by Jill some time ago, and this quilt is the fourth made from that fabric!  Thank you Jill for the generous donation.

 

Next up were two quilts quilted by Evelyn; not sure who made the first one...

 

This one was made by Ann.

 

Bev was super busy this week.  She made these next 3 quilts from donated fabrics.

 

Some fun doggy novelty fabrics in there - I remember them coming in as a donation last month. 

 

Bev also quilted this one made by Dasha

 

And this one made by Maria

 

And this is our new member Helen, modelling a hat and scarf she has made.  She has also made up 4 little kids wraps.

Jill and Ann selected 10 quilts for Ronald McDonald House.  Four people pinned quilts, keeping Evelyn busy cutting backs and wadding to supply them, and four were sewing the labels on the completed tops.

Never enough time on meeting days!
