A lovely chatty, with busy hands day at the Pennant Hills Pub yesterday most of us hadn't seen each other in 3 years!

Maggie was stitching.

Michelle was knitting with the pattern on her phone.

Heather was Patchworking.

Lissa was Crocheting.

Pennie was knitting.


 Irene was knitting as well but I didn't get a photo.

The Sticky Squid Salad was very popular for lunch, always has been.


Chips above and Halloumi Salad below.

Here's a little Show...  

I have to share the wonderful History of the necklace Lissa's was wearing. 

'Mulberry Mongoose' is a workshop in South Luangwa, Zambia where local crafts women use snare wire recovered from poaching traps to create jewellery designs inspired by the African Bush.  Each piece sold raises funds for local conservation efforts to protect Zambia's wildlife. 



Below is Maggie's very clever work of art.
Maggie's handwork says it all.

Today we visited the Pennant Hills Hotel - maybe I should call this Blog the 'Pub Crawling Quilters'!

About 15 years ago, the Sydney SCQuilters started getting together on the First Saturday of each month at what was then called the Pennant Hills Inn, at Pennant Hills.    We had a lovely open room to meet in, it was right at the Station and next door to a Patchwork Shop, it was ideal but then...  The Smoking Rules changed so Pubs had to find an area outside for their Smokers and that area just happened to be 'our' room, so 10 years ago we moved to the Blue Gum Pub at Waitara.

A few years ago the Pennant Hills Inn did a big renovation and it is now called Hotel Pennant Hills or to some of us in the know, 'the Penno Pub' which is now a great place to meet for all ages with a quieter room for people like us.

There has been talk about either moving back to the 'Penno Pub' or better still meeting twice a month!  Yesterday 18 of us met at the our second Pub for the month and all in all claimed it a great success.  I will be making up a Survey so that everyone can have a say and we'll see what we decide.

Here are some old photos taken at the Penno Pub more than 10 years ago and a couple of photos taken yesterday.

 Irene L. was lucky to have her lovely Grand Daughter Sophia come with her for a day at the Pub, Sophia is learning to knit :-)

So...  what exactly are you doing Michelle???    Looks fun!
