Working Bee in Maryborough

Today we had our first working bee in Maryborough. I took along the box from Holly Potvin  of Bears Paws Quilting. and some other blocks donated by ladies in W.A. and other parts of the USA and Australia.

Carolyn did a wonderful job of sorting blocks into quilt tops. Lyn not pictured sewed borders on half of these blocks and now we have a vibrant quilt top ready for quilting. Denise is sorting out some bears paw blocks and Jenny is manipulating a blue set.  In the far background is Kaye putting a border on the top to make it a little bigger. Carolyn designed and sorted all day. Her eye for what to make of things is really good.You did a great job Carolyn.

Carolyn and Vl re setting out the blocks and Val is sewing the top together.The colours were strking

Denise is going off to get lunch and Lynette is cutting out sashings in the kitchen.See the piles of sorted blocks into tops on the bench?

Lynette is putting together some light and bright crazy pieced blocks alternating with some plain yellow squares. Lynette took this one and 2 others home to do during the week.



Lyn is getting a quilt top together to take home and finish off.

This is me doing what I like best Supervising.LOL. Not really ! We got most of the blocks into sets and the girls took home a couple each to work on. We put borders on 3 tops and completed 3 tops from scratch. I have 5 sets to drop off at my nieces tomorrow to go to Pyramid Hill to a workshop.Not much left in that box now. We have done well.
