Canberra Owls lay back and think of England

well, English paper piecing, at least!

Sunday was a cold, rainy, miserable afternoon in Our Nation's Capital, but neither rain nor hail nor sleet nor snow (and we were pretty close to the last, I tell you!) could keep the intrepid Canberra Owls from their crafting.

Once again Michelle took the lead, making up kits using templates from the Lizard of Oz, and showing us the how-to. Hexagons all round.

Fabulous fabrics abounded, and I understand there was an extraordinarily low rate of needlestick injuries. Not bad for a bunch of (mostly!) novice piecers!

Finished!

We traded a few fave fabric shopping spots too - Additcted to Fabric and Calico Patch if you're a local, and Kelani and Fabricworm were recommended as well. Tell us in the comments if you've got another! Because we love the enabling!

Next meet - freezer paper stencilling! Stay tuned for details....

til next time!

Sydney Brown Owls - Paper Piecing

Another great night for the Sydney Owls! On Thursday, we tackled paper piecing. We made balls and bowls, pillows and quilts. Flowers were patched, knots were learned and top secret fabric tips were shared. We laughed, we smiled, we chatted and we made.






16 owls joined in on the fun. Were you there? Did you post your project on your blog? Do leave a link in the comments, so we can check them out!

So much fun and we're ready for the next outing! We'll see you at the craft and quilt fair in Darling Harbour next week.
