Quiltathon

Had a quilty day today with the Singleton Quilters, sewing our Aussie Hero Quilts.  Most of the girls were very camera shy but I managed to get a couple of shots.  With some quilts already taken home to be finished/worked on by various members, we estimate about 25 tops now in various stages, pinned, quilted, bound or finished! Nearly halfway.

The pinners - Betty, Joy, Ros and Cheryl

Some diehard sewers late in the day

Shy Sharon's quilt

Quilts ready for labels and/or sewing the binding down.

Goodbye summer

I love to quilt when it rains!  but some sunny days would be nice too.... 
Being in the Hunter Valley we have not had the rain that has hit the southern areas of the State but by the sound of things that could change.  The rain woke us up during the night and I have just tipped 38mm out of the rain gauge ('bout 1.5").  Let's cross our fingers that we don't get too much in the northwest where many are still cut off by floodwaters from January and hope that those in the southern areas are safe and back to normal soon. 

Me, well I've been working on some Aussie Hero Quilts, cutting for my Orca Bay and doing lots of customer quilts.....




I still need to unpack.
