Sewing At Night

Stitching black at night is a nightmare for my old eyes...AnD sewing dots... 

well that's double the trouble... BUT... I did get to add the binding to this large Community quilt.

It measures 62 inch x  78 inch and is a Monica Poole design. 

It was sewn as a qayg.

FNwF Apology

I apologise for not hosting FNwF this month but I was stuck on the Gold Coast in cyclone Alfred without power.

ReTReAT at Wyee

Before heading to the 3 day retreat I managed to load a "panel" onto Teena.

I will use a ruler to create the quilting design.

This will eventually be donated as another Community quilt.

AT the retreat...

FIRST project...

Adding the last column to the flower basket flimsy, I then cut the borders.

It's almost ready to be quilted... yeah

SECOND project...

Stitching around all the applique pieces on this "balloon" flimsy.

Lots of thread changing for this one... 🧵

THIRD project...

Joining 151/2 inch QAYG blocks together (24 in total), then the 6 rows together. 

I used black dotty fabric on the front while using green dotty on the back.

I think this will be a raffle quilt.

My WeeK

 I started off by making 4 x "triple" scissor keepers...

Then I loaded a flimsy onto Teena. 

This will be donated as another Community quilt.

I'm sure this "farmyard" quilt will bring a smile to a little persons face.

I also finished 2 (10 inch x 8 inch) zipper pouches that were made from scraps.

I added a leather "handmade" tag & a zip pull cord. 

These, along with the scissor keeps, will be on our Guild "sale" table in May.

My February FNwF

I added the label & binding to the "flower" community quilt.

THeN...

as the RSC 2025 colour for February is BLUE... 

I used my scraps to make several 9 patch blocks.

Then 2 blocks for another Community quilt... again using BLUE...
