This past week has been all about......

I will begin at the beginning.     We are having an "open day" here in conjunction with Seniors Week and the Sales Manager asked if  I could make some flags to be mounted on dowel sticks which will then be attached to sandwich boards that will placed throughout the complex to guide visitors around to various properties for sale as well as showing the way to the waterfall walk and other lovely garden areas.    In the past they have used balloons but they are no longer allowed.

I was handed the various fabrics to be used (they would definitely have not been my choice as they were 100% polyester with no body and did nothing but slip and slide)

After doing lots of cutting, pinning and sewing

Here is the end result

All folded up and ready to hand over

I will take a photo on Saturday showing them as they are meant to be displayed.  

Also during the week our quilting group was invited by the local Council to take part in a Seniors Expo being held at one of the community halls nearby so myself along with 1 other were on duty to display (we were not demonstrating) quilts and other various items as well as handing out flyers about our group in the hope of attracting new members - our current member numbers are low and we would like to boost that count in order for the group to survive and grow.  

Beanies have still been happening in between other things. 

Hubs and I caught up with some friends for lunch at Randwick Golf club Malabar on a super sparkly day

Our new book club book is

Somewhere in the back of my mind I think that I have read this in the past but will start it as it was sometime ago if I have read it. 

I have just had an email informing me that I was one of the lucky prize winners in Project Quilting challenge 15.5 Wearables and the prize is my choice of a digital quilt pattern from Studio R Quilts.   I look forward to receiving it. 

Time to head off and organise dinner.   Back soon and in the meantime

Happy sewing all
