We are sew lucky to be able to hire the Seniors hall for our workshops etc which gives us lots of space and all the facilities we need..
After setting up, making a cuppa and chatting I got to work on this...
It took most of the weekend but I'm pleased to say after several hiccups the flimsy is finished....
Measures 64" X 80" a very pretty community quilt. It's amazing how a pattern looks out two different fabrics.. You can see the other one I make HERE..
Some of the ladies busy working .....
Look at this intricate work......
oh ! lots of paper piecing .......
beautiful hand embroidery
sorry thought I took more photos but I was just keep sew busy . Happy to say that I did manage to work on this project before going home...
Thanks to everybody for a fabulous weekend.....

Happy Stitching
