Last Saturday our Patch Group had a community sewing day . 
Lots of cutting to be done and sorting out how the blocks went together.
Many machines humming away while others did the ironing and sorting out how the blocks go together.

By the end of the day there were two of the brown flimsy's ( like the one on the design wall above) had sewn together the mauve floral and one of the ladies had sewn the Pink Hearts together for "Pinking Up Dongara" a fund raiser for Breast Cancer.
When I arrived home I was happy to still be able to join Chooky and friends for a few hours on Zoom.
while I sat chatting I did some more on my La Passacaglia. blocks...
Chooky had finished and shown us a lovely "Churn Dash" quilt . She said she'd like to make another one and invited us to join in as a SAL. Of course I've joined in and have ordered some fabrics online. Hope they come soon.
If you'd like to join in pop over to Chooky's post here.
On Wednesday our group visited "Russ Cottage" ( an old cottage where one of the original families of Dongara lived) and after we had an interesting tour through the historical cottage.
we arranged our chairs and some tables under the trees and sat stitched , chatted , drank coffe and eat some nice treats...
I also keep forgetting to show you the gorgeous blanket my DD1 crocheted for me as a Mother's Day gift.... So spoilt...
Must away and get ready for bed.
Stay well and I hope you find time to stitch.
Hugs Maria ❤
Sounds like some fun times with sights, sounds and good friends and some great stitching--

what a wonderful time
ReplyDeleteThere must be a ton of organization to assemble the quilts with many sewers. The heart quilt is perfect for “pink awareness “. The ladybug blanket is beautiful. So much work too!!! It’s a lovely gift. I’m looking forward to seeing LP come together. The pattern is so stunning.
ReplyDeleteLots of sewing at your community event, great what a gathering can do. Your ladybird blanket is beautiful.
