While the Modern Quilt Guild’s event #quiltcon was taking place in Pasadena, Melbourne MQG celebrated #quiltnon2016 by holding our Sit and Sew Day.
We got off with a great start with these sweet treats:
Members are working on all kinds of projects.

Louise is working on some cute envelope blocks, with Liberty fabrics no less:
Cathy M took on the challenge to sew a block of her house, floating in outer space:
Andrea P is oh-so-patiently sewing together some gorgeous selvedges:
Dawn is working on hexies:
