Sunday Stitchers March get together....

                                                   
It was a hive of industry this month .......


De... Cheryl... Susan and me brought our sewing machines to work on charity quilts.....

Some of the girls brought fabric from their stash which gave us a good variety to work with...
One of which was a layer cake from Maria....\
De quickly put it together ......
A simple quilt but very effective we thought....


Susan and I worked on an Eye Spy quilt for boys....
With heaps of help from Anita and Juanita setting up the rows and ironing....
Some of the girls also helped with cutting and ironing for quilts to be made soon.....


Show and Tell....

Me and Sandi with our Quatro quilts....


Susan....


Anita was our over achiever.....

Sewing progress....

 Duck Duck Goose block...

Last block....

Tadahhhhh ....

quilt top ready for quilting....

Quatro finished.....

A quick outing with Heather to Bunnings....

Of course a stop at the little cafe there but no seats available  so we were told to use a display setting anywhere we wanted.....

We found this nice little setting and enjoyed our cake and coffee....

We enjoyed it so much that Heather decided to buy the setting....

A fun day....

Today we said Goodbye to Fatty.....

 A sad day for our son Rob when he had to say goodbye to his wonderful old friend.......

a gorgeous gentle giant.....

"Fatty"



He often joined me for a bit of quiet stitching......



I don't think that is your bed.....


Fatty has only been living here at our home with Rob and Mel for the last 2 years and you couldn't help but fall in love with him....

He certainly will be missed....


Goodbye "Fatty"
