The Quilting Sisters - Carol's Round Robin
Oh my this Round Robin has been sitting at my home for quite some time. Usually I have them out the door as soon as they arrive. I cannot believe I have held this for so long. I did the final 2 rounds. After my first round I just couldn't decide on what I was going to do and I wouldn't or couldn't send it home unfinished. After asking for help from many other quilters I finally worked out what I wanted to do. The black border was an idea from many other quilters and I can see how it has pulled the quilt together.... Thank you to all who helped me work this out.
I am so scared Carol won't like it but I am now happy to send her home. I will add a packet of Tim Tams as an 'Sorry'... that might bribe her....haha

Picture Swap
I have been very busy this month. I have taken my trip around the region to check that we are all stocked up should a disaster occur. Mellie and I took heaps of sewing to do along the way but were so tired each night that we didn't get anything done. This months Guild Block is a 'Crinoline Lady' on point. Mellie realised that hers wasn't so she cut it out into an oval shape and attached it to a soft pink background making it look like a cameo. Clever idea, hers is now on point.
I have mainly been busy sewing Ruth's Picture Swap. 'Snow covered Church with stained Glass windows at Christmas Time'. What a theme...lol. Well I finally got her Church finished, and handed on to the next lady in the swap. I am very happy with the end result.
