Our Annual Linus Day

 Well, the weather may have turned a bit chillier but it was like a sweat shop at Group today!!
We had our Annual Project Linus ( locally known as a Dorothy Day)  and this time we were concentrating on incubator size quilts though there were some that were for a bigger child.

Lots of cutting
 Sewing ...


 and finishing was being done
 
Chris sewed on a label for Kay

Kay finishing another one

Shirley on piecework

Maureen adding some hand quilting

Ellen using a pretty panel
Sun Bonnet Sue was Carole's choice
 Christine has not been with us for some time, but came along with 9 quilts that she had made, some of which sported some beautiful embroidery designs. (Christine has a fancy machine)


Alison used brushed fabric with a fleece backing

Annette made 2 with pretty prints

Linda's is almost there!
good old Pauline was sewing bindings and labels
 We ended up with 63 completed quilts on the day with more to be tweaked, with bindings and labels to finish off


 More to come on Wednesday!

We will be delivering the quilts to the Linus co-ordinator on the 5th March so all finished quilts to be at group
BY
 Wednesday 2nd March PLEASE!

which will give you a couple of weeks to get those clocks made !!!
