ReTReAT at Wyee

Before heading to the 3 day retreat I managed to load a "panel" onto Teena.
I will use a ruler to create the quilting design.
This will eventually be donated as another Community quilt.
AT the retreat...
FIRST project...
Adding the last column to the flower basket flimsy, I then cut the borders.
It's almost ready to be quilted... yeah
SECOND project...
Stitching around all the applique pieces on this "balloon" flimsy.
Lots of thread changing for this one... ๐Ÿงต
THIRD project...
Joining 151/2 inch QAYG blocks together (24 in total), then the 6 rows together. 
I used black dotty fabric on the front while using green dotty on the back.
I think this will be a raffle quilt.

My WeeK

 I started off by making 4 x "triple" scissor keepers...
Then I loaded a flimsy onto Teena. 
This will be donated as another Community quilt.
I'm sure this "farmyard" quilt will bring a smile to a little persons face.
I also finished 2 (10 inch x 8 inch) zipper pouches that were made from scraps.
I added a leather "handmade" tag & a zip pull cord. 
These, along with the scissor keeps, will be on our Guild "sale" table in May.

I added the label & binding to the "flower" community quilt.
THeN...
as the RSC 2025 colour for February is BLUE... 
I used my scraps to make several 9 patch blocks.

Then 2 blocks for another Community quilt... again using BLUE...

Three community quilt tops were loaded onto Teena over the weekend.
Waves were quilted on this "ocean" one...
With a simple meander on the next one...
Then a meander with an arrow added in the corners on this FLoWeR quilt.

SMaLL ProJecTs & Two Quilts...

DD#1 asked me to make small circular pouches for the Netball team she coaches.
These junior players can put their earrings/rings inside to keep them safe.
I used the production line method as I sewed in ALL 15  zips... 
then I stitched the pouches... & once they're were ALL made, I overlocked the inside to tidy the lining. 
I added small hooks so the pouches can attach to the girls bags... 
& DD#1 will add individual names to the back.
All 15 pouches were finished... phew... so I posted them off last Tuesday...
Then...
I loaded & quilted another small community flimsy on Teena.
I've had this fabric in my stash for ages & thought it time it was used.
A small child will be able to snuggle under it & smile I hope.
I also managed to quilt another flimsy I finished during January too.
After not being interested in my sewing for over 3 months due to sickness... 
I'm certainly making up for lost time.
I used a light thread on the back to show up the quilting.
Don't know if it was a good idea or not... but I wanted to try it...
