More from Scrub Stitching

I feel that there is so much more from Scrub Stitching that I haven't shared, but I'm having trouble choosing the highlights!

I noted earlier on that we received goodie bags - here is what was inside them - 

As well as the traditional Australiana themed coffee mug and sweet treats, there was a calico bag printed with the Scrub Stitching logo. On the back it had our names and where we were from. Plus a specially designed kit from Anni Downs. Several ladies have made theirs already, and I look forward to stitching mine up as well.

A cute pincushion and button -

and two sweet magnets (I'm already finding them handy for on my tabe, to throw the odd pin or needle at) -

As well, us International ladies were treated a little specially, with several extra gifts coming our way from individuals. I've watched Jo make these cool 'picnic placemats' on her blog - they have a zippered pocket to put cutlery in for travel -

Australian themed coaster, and template.

One of the kitchen ladies, who took care of our meals, has a new embroidery machine so had fun decorating the handtowels - 

Jenine, the maker, with Tracy and Deana, USA, Sylvia, Germany, and myself-

During the dressup dinner we also have a (random) gift swap; making the gift isn't compulsory but a lot of the gifts are. This year I received this journal from Jude. The fabric is a lovely hand dye,  and she used various threads and stitches to decorate it- 

I forgot to take a photo of the gift I made so when I receive some photos of it I will share them!

There was lots of show-and-tell.....we had an official session on Friday afternoon, with lots of completed quilts brought from home shared.

(In no particular order and many missing!)

Annette with an Elizabeth Hartman design-

Natasha's 100% denim quilt - not only gorgeous but heavy, too!

Jules with her Twister quilt. A lot of these were made last Scrub Stitching-

Jo with En Provence, one of Bonnie Hunter's mysteries-

Pat with her clever pretty-

Kylie had a trunkload of show and tell. One of her many stunning creations—

Another twister; apologies, I can't remember who this belongs to! Ahhh, Chooky tells me it is hers! She helped hold so many up, I'd forgotten she had one too! —

Maureen and her gorgeous applique quilt - 

A bunch of sewers have been making churndash quilts over the past 10 months or so. Here are some of the finished ones- 

(Mine is still only about 1/3 done.)

Sue and I shared the Scrub Stitching quilts we made after my 2019 trip over-

We all oohhed and aahed whenever there was a finish during Scrub Stitching too.

Lou's anchor wasn't quite finished but it was amazing to finally see it taking shape!

Tina's magnificent pineapple quilt-

Jo's Storm at Sea has been slowly growing on her blog. She pieced the last of it at Scrub Stitching-

The small finishes were celebrated too - Chris (Canada) bought her Lucy Boston project-

And Jenny spent much of the weekend making her caddy - 

Here's a pic of us International gals with Chooky-

And one last photo I forgot to add to our Dress up Dinner night - 

So that's me done for the night. 

'till next time,

happy stitches,
