WE ARE BACK !!!!

Weekly gatherings started again this week with our first meeting for the year, lots of catch to be had with our group members.
Rosie and Margret presented our first challenge for the year, a mystery block and Color challenge .  We had to choose a paper bag which had a picture of the block and a swatch of the colour to be used in the finished block.  Each participant only does one block then they put together and quilted .  The finished quilt will be displayed at the centre. We will show photos later when the quilt is finished.

Below are photos of some show and tell.



Mary showed us a blanket she is crocheting for the Children’s Hospital. Thank you Mary love your dedication for donating to the hospital.

Caroline presented her Quilt which was made from a Jelly Roll she has had for a while, beautiful work just love a blue and white quilt.
Caroline also showed a Serviette holder she made from material she picked up at the destash night. 

 Janice made a IPad holder for her daughter , this is from the Tilda range.
