A quilt for Rosie

Last week a few of us got together on a rainy January day to continue a Rookwood tradition, to make a quilt for someone we love.

Chris was there to warm up the machines.

Closely followed by Sou and Adrian. Watch out Adrian, you'll be signed up for costume making for the next production!

Diane was the resident expert in machine threading.

Iron your seams to the dark side Adrian!

William couldn't say no to Mrs Brett.....

Never thought I'd see the day :-)

Sou chooses her fabrics for block 2.

Time for a break.

Therese bought doughnuts. Some things never change.

Concentration.

Ann and Imogen popped in to sew a block.

 

Sou is sewing up a storm (she's been practising).

Hi Phillippa, time to get sewing.

Marilyn held the record for most blocks sewn.

Joan gets a lesson from Diane.

Hang on, one side is bigger than the other .........

Over half way...

Joan is flying....

Ah, now I see where I went wrong.

You've got to be accurate.

Queen of the rotary cutter.

Alison tears herself away from her marking to join us. It's much more fun!

Therese is promoted to quilt planner.

Sou is going to make another quilt when she gets home!
Kaye sews the final block - nearly there!

Sunday morning at Chris', time to tack and chat.

Margaret, hemming expert.

Scrappy binding.

Ta dah!

We love you Rosie xxxxxxxx
