Yesterday

 was sit and sew over at Port Arlington, there was some wonderful show and tell

Jan made this quilt top from scraps

and Jill made this quilt at a Kaffe Fassett class earlier in the year when he was out here in OZ.

this photo has jumped out of order, this was on my way home after water aerobics, the weather change is coming...

this is another quilt made by Jan again from scraps she was given, another quilt top,

Mary has changed her fabric for her clamshells and now is using her beautiful Japanese fabric.

I have been working on the hexies trying to get the next row attached and the holes filled so won't bore you with another photo!!

Happy sewing!!

Happy sewing

has happened today over at the Port Arlington sewing group, the Bellarine Quilters. There was lots of beautiful show and tell, I only got a few photos

these lovely quilts with elephants, they started out as one quilt but got to big, so now are two!!

How cute are these teddies?

Guess who came to sewing group today????  Was lovely to see Shez and have a sit and natter and sew...we actually only got part of the day to chat as I was in the back room sandwiching a quilt. This group has a wonderful frame where you pin on the backing, pull it tight, then lay on the wadding and the top and then you can start pinning...when you have reached as far as you can, you wind up the pinned end, make sure all is tight and off you go again. Shez has taken a photo so can add that later, or you can see it on her blog.

Thank you Shez for the photos!! One happy quilter. 

After we had finished I had a wander down to the shops and over the road

and down towards the beach...it was a bit dull then, the sun came out when I got back to the car.

I did a little more binding on the Charm Square Sampler...off to do some quilting now.

Happy sewing.

Yesterday

close up of the previous quilt..

a sea themed quilt Chris is making...

and the back..

a nine patch that has been cut and rearranged

and this one belongs to Judy, the ladies were explaining to us newbies how to make the blocks for these quilts...  in the afternoon I went into Geelong and did a little Christmas shopping, then went to see

what a great film, I laughed and cried....as did others in the audience!!!

Back home I made another of these

my collection is growing and I think I have the pattern under control now, although it never pays to be over confident!!

Happy sewing!
