I wasn't at the working bee so Jean has provided me with some words
and the photos are supplied by Wendy and Noel.
Western Quilters Raffle workshop was held on the 11 Aug 2012.
There were 10 committee & 3 members of the Western
Quilters who worked tirelessly on the piecing of the WQC Raffle Quilt for the
2013 Quilts Across the Ranges show in March 2013.
There were members (Jo & Noel along with a bit of
laughter) hand appliquéing stems onto the flowers, others (Pat, Julie, Ku,
Wendy, Denise, Glenda & Jean machine appliquéing & making the
‘Courthouse Step’ blocks.

Lunch time came:- Pizzas (brought to us by Lynne & Liz)
along with fruit & cakes.
Trudy came & gave support too
Finally just after lunch it was decision time regarding
putting the blocks together. A bit like a jig saw puzzle, put all blocks down on
the sheet, move them around, turn the flower stems in opposite directions, this
was interspersed with the arrival of 6 ‘frisky’ Yorkshire Terriers – PANIC!!!!!
The owner was a tad ??? no leads on any dogs & quite ‘frisky’ &
definitely not well behaved. After having ushered them & owner (said silly
female) out, we breathed a sigh of relief!
Jean shooing extras out
Finally we pieced the top together, Ok time to get it all
together:- rows 1 & 2 – please sew together, 3 & 4 likewise, 5 & 6,
the same. 7 to 5/6 rows, 1 & 2 together 3 & 4 & then the final row
was sown.
Borders now on & ready for it to be quilted &
finished off.
Andrea was patiently hand sewing on numerous circles onto the
2nd prize - a table runner.
