Spring is in the air! Blossom trees are beginning to blossom, wattle is blooming, and there was a touch of warmth in the air today.
Debbie brought along her finished coasters and a folded-fabric star from the workshops she did at the recent Craft and Quilt Fair:
Scroll down to see how the coasters looked at our last meeting, before they were assembled with their backing. Today Debbie continued stitching the zig-zag design in the top left of the photo.
We had a few magazines to look at today, including an issue of
Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks. It is very hard to find in Australia, but Vireya found it in Ballarat:
Vic the Manager popped in to give us each a new fridge magnet!
Marie continued adding appliqued dots to the baby quilt she is making:

Marie also had some unusual show-and-tell:
A toilet-paper wrapper! But the interesting part is the concept behind it. The company gives 50% of their profit to

Our next meeting will be in two weeks, on 24th August, See you then!
