The August Sewing Day was an extra busy affair – Stephanie Knudsen gave a demonstration of ‘Quilt as you go’ and Jean Adams showed her method of basting a quilt ready for hand quilting.

Both demos were very popular and hopefully the idea will be used at future meetings.

Quintessential Quilts was our shop of the month …..

…..and Thread Bears were the Hostesses

and still smiling by the end of the day!

‘Show and Tell’ time included some beautiful quilts for Aussie Heroes and our own Community Quilts hero, Gail Bailey, gave a show of her latest quilts (she is quilting even more quilts for the programme since getting her new long – arm quilting machine..)

Last but not least, our new WAQA members – two cute baby kangaroos. Not what you expect to see at a Sewing day!
