August 2017 Charity Sew-In

This past Saturday was spent at a member's sewing space.  It turned out to be a very rainy day, perfect for sewing!

We are making quilts for Foster Children on the island and we decided to dedicate our August Sew-in to make more tops.  Five members gathered together to focus on this endeavour.  Amid much chatting and laughter, we were productive, really we were!

One of our members provided lots of jean squares to add colourful fabrics from our stash around them. We set up sewing machines and three members were sashing jean pieced blocks together.  You can see Heather C, Linda and Lydea hard at work piecing the blocks together, while Susan was ironing fabrics.

Heather J. was cutting strips and put together this top.  Pretty bright...

Susan was working on piecing a back.

Some other completed tops!

We also saw some completed quilts.  A donation from one of Colleen's clients which was hand quilted!  So cute!

And here's Cathy's fabulous quilt!  Lots of fussy cut foxes in this quilt which is so reminiscent PEI!

We did stop to eat.  There was a brown bag lunch and a treat at tea time with a great rhubarb crumble and frozen yogurt. Thanks Susan! Yum! 

Thanks everyone for their camaraderie, laughs and great tops and quilts!  We will be collecting quilts for our November meeting, when we hand them over to be delivered to the children.
