April 2024 meant it was time for...Scrub Stitching!!!!
The room was set up and ready for the Tribe to arrive and stitch up a storm...lovely quilts of Chooky, Janice and Brenda adorning the walls...
Gift bags of goodies at each stitching spot...we were spoilt!...
Brenda made the wee smiley badge and just about everyone quickly pinned theirs on near their name badge...she also made the world's best coconut ice...Di, embroidery machine whiz, had whipped up the commemorative mug rug...a lovely Hatched & Patched kit for a stitching roll with all the necessary but I haven't opened that yet...was very happy to find a "Purple Thang" amongst the goodies, in the couple of weeks before Scrub Stitching I'd had the idea that I really should investigate acquiring one of those - now sorted!...the mug didn't come full of tea- ha ha ha, I made a cuppa and then it was oh need to take a picture before I gobble up the edible goodies!...
The room set up for Saturday Night Dinner...as usual the Decorating Committee (Chooky, Di and Miranda) outdid themselves. We had two star wars characters at dinner along with Shirley Temple and other great creative interpretations of the theme - Stars.
The "if you want to" project this year involved a jelly roll ruler that Chooky obtained from Pictcon Patchwork in Coonabarabran. I have the ruler now "for later". The results for those who played along looked great... The strips are all sewn together into one long strip (the pink one was not at full length yet...there were more strips to be added!! so add a couple of extra "longs" to Kylie's strip) and then measured and cut into five which then make up into a five strip quilt top with sashing between the strips...ingenious and looks fabulous. Betty came up with the idea to make two shorter lengths and turn around to make a table runner. They all looked fabulous and it will be great to see what is bought back next year for show and tell.
Of course there was the obligatory photo session...Janice's husband Mick kindly acting as chief photographer so no-one missed out being included in the pics...
Another year over and already looking forward to next year...
Happy Stitching...

I hope you had a better time than last years experience. Were you productive. It does sound like you were all starry eyed and had a great time. I’m going next year.
Wow, just look at those forever long braids on the floor. They will make beautiful quilt for sure.
