This week in the sewing room

 First up 3 orange blocks for RSC were constructed.

Two orange beanies were sewn up and one pom pom made

Autumn also brings different shades of orange to the leaves.

The overlocker was located to the dining room table and the library bag  production line was started.

After a couple of hours 35 bags were overlocked.

Next step is to sew the casings around the top of the bags.   A job for another time.

Today I met up with a fellow zoomer.    Betty and I have spoken many times during our regular Zoom sessions with the Chookshed Stitchers over the years but today was the first time that we have met up in person.  Once coffee and cake were enjoyed we made our way down through the Rocks area of Sydney, alongside the harbour and under the harbour bridge where this photo was taken of Betty.

We then made our way across to the Botancial Gardens where Betty took me to a coral tree that had been planted in memory of her late husband.   

We had a thoroughly enjoyable morning and plan to meet up again in the not too distant future.  We then parted ways with Betty walking up the hill to catch a train and me down the hill towards the Opera House and the light rail.  

The scrap baskets have been tidied up and now look forward to seeing what June's chosen colour is.

Back soon and in the meantime

Happy stitching all
