Katy Jones from 'Quilt Now' magazine had sent us some fabric, and we used the layer cakes to make some disappearing nine patches. Here are Julie, Paula and Maria beavering away.
And here are Charlotte and Gail.
While we were working, Roxanna sorted out some unlovely fabrics which she donated to Linus! She is one generous lady! We will certainly love and use them, in fact Gail and Maria promptly snaffled a couple for backing. Result!
Paula chose the Windy Day set of fabrics. Here she is laying them out.
Maria had the Nautical set and was a bit concerned that some of the fish were swimming upside down. They seemed to manage!
Julie had this set in turquoise and green. Gorgeous.
Gail's set was called Juicy, and had crisp colours and delicious fruits.
And here is Charlotte, who hadn't intended to sew, but was seduced by the simple pattern and beautiful fabric. In the time she completed six blocks, which was awesome! She is hoping to finish the rest over the weekend. What a star!
And here is the completed top! Charlotte certainly did a great job on this!
Thank you so much to everyone who came today, and especially to Roxanna for hosting us all. There will be another day on May 25th so book in with Roxanna if you'd like to come along.
