Such a fun time with Kate @ Show and Tell a few weeks ago.............very busy since but catching up with posts..............
very kindly an offline friend Cheryl gave me some fabrics.........I thought it would be great to use one of the jelly rolls she gave me for a good cause....spread the love......we choose Chelsea Boutique.......
Kate was forced came on board for this second quilt for the Dungog floods........
She did all the sewing as I could not get the right seam allowance on her machine and I cut and ironed............as Kate says it was pretty much a sweat shop while we made the quilt..........each pushing each other along.........
Kate really wanted to keep the quilt.......we both love the colours............
4.30 the blocks were all laid out and ready to start joining.......auditioning some boarders...........
by 10.30pm we were done..........that includes socialising with Bloom and a dinner break...........
the dark brown narrow border framed it well.........
The quilt has now made it's way to Jan @ Red Shed Quilting who very kindly offered to quilt it at no cost.............
We had a little break out shopping and found this great backing fabric.......would be perfect on my blue lanterns quilt...........I agree but left it there........Kate holding it while I snapped a pic to remember the fabric.............
Enjoyed the beautiful autumn colours while in the cooler climate too.............
And her camellia plant was loaded with flowers..............
thank Kate for having Fairy Girl and me for a sleep over..........
we had a great time in the "studio shed".........
Catch you later.......

Quilt is beautiful no wonder Kate wanted to keep it..
Looks like you had a great time making up your charity quilt.
Lovely quilt made by the both of you.
Well done in the sweat shop..that quilt is lovely!! Looks like you had a wonderful time! Nothing better than girls together sewing time...even if you did have to crack the whip!! Lol!!
Nothing like sewing with friends!!! Especially when you find your lost blocks too lol
You do great work together, it's a lovely quilt for a good cause. Sounds like it was a fun weekend.
Wow..... That's team work ..... Thanks for sharing
I love the colour of the quilt also! Well done girls!
You girls did a top job with the quilt. Always a sense of achievement to get to the finish line, well done!
It sounds like you had a wonderful weekend. Thanks for sharing the story behind the quilt. It really is a case of maximum effect for miminum effort. The colours work so well together.
It was so nice to have you girls come and stay and you know you are welcome any time, I think that trip most definitely got my mojo back....PS I hope you haven't lost the binding!!! LOL
