February GTG at Lorraines

 

Here's what everyone was doing.....
Firstly Robyn B's purple abdomen is a fitting background to her curly bookworm bookmarks - she plied her crochet hook all afternoon.
Rhonda was working on the centre block - for her Dresden Plate quilt and Lillian knitting rainbow stripey sox.
Doris finished a star block, Lorraine was sewing blocks and Cheryl was actually unsewing in this shot!
Where is Margaret she has disappeared from the collage?
 




Here she is - little devil - doing her embroidery

 

Janine - was in her counting house, counting all the money .... and then her show and tell - some lovely felted flowers, bangles and a ring.
The quit top that I am showing, I bought at the Salvation Army store in Nowra last week for $2! I promise to finish it one day and give it a good home.

And the stars of the day .....

 

Here they are - Wally and Mac.
It was a bit hot to be nursed today and by the end of the GTG they had migrated to the cool of the floor tiles.

We had a nice GTG and welcomed three newbies, Robyn, Sue and Judy.
Our next GTG on 28th Feb will be at Lorraines in Waterfall - it will be a Sit'n'Sew starting around 10 and finishing around whenever ...
Bring your swimmers for a dip in between projects especially if it is like it was today.
Lovely southerly blowing now - phew.

Show and tell ....

 

 

Todays GTG ...

Computer lesson today .....

 

This is how you access the SCQIllawarras page on Yahoo Groups and how you add an event to the calendar. All intent ....

 

and the winner is................

this morning we drew the raffle for our lovely queen size purple and green quilt at The Quilters Garden, Albion Park.
There was Margaret McCaughey, Doris Moran and (me) Janine Matthews present, we enjoyed a cuppa and chocolate cake while folding the tickets ready for drawing

First we shook up all the tickets in the bag

then Doris drew the winning ticket out, and.........

the winner is Veronica McGechen

we rang Veronica up as she didn't live to far away and here she is in front of the fabulous quilt

Lunch at the Square

 

I had a lovely lunch on Monday with Maureen and Tracey AND the two APR GC's ... aren't they cute?

Todays Show and Tell...

 


Margaret has done a beautiful cross stich stocking for each of her grandchildren - what a trooper!

Cinza has used up all her scraps as you can see and also done the beautiful quilt in the centre of the collage - I could steal that one!
And Joan - she used and modified some 'Orphan' blocks to make this lovely sampler quilt for a family member who will soon be turning - was it 94?
Lovely ... well done everyone.

Well that's enough from me folks.
I will soon modify this site so that you guys can post to it and keep us all up to date with your projects and your happenings etc.
