May 26th

Just a small group today but a very enjoyable one with plenty of room to spread out.

The top quilt was made by Lyn Peucker, her granddaughter I think chose the pattern and the fabric. 

The lower quilt was made by Annie, an internet pattern called Goose Migration. This is a great stash buster, so it is on my list!

Throughout the month of J6ne if you attend a Saturday or Tuesday bring along the "First Quilt you ever made" WE PROMISE NOT TO BE CRITICAL. It will be interesting to see how far you have coming. Mine is positively embarrassing.

Display of great hexagon work

Here are some pictures of hexagon work which were brought along for display on Saturday 12th May. I am sure more people have hexagon work to share so bring it along on Second Saturday in June.

What a wonderful display.

This last one was a bag created by Lyn Peucker using a photograph printed on to fabric. An excellent project and a treasured bag.

CPR Training

Not feeling 100% on a Tuesday night or Saturday, don't  be put off coming. Last night 8 people did some CPR Training. We are all eager to try out our skills!!!

We did all find the defibulator easy to use, but are not always available. CPR is now so much easier but does require a degree of strength.

A huge thank you to Andrew for making it a fun experience.

Who's getting older?

We had a lovely little celebration for two of our members on Tuesday night.  Both Lyn and Sheila were delighted with their lovely fabrics and I am sure they are already deciding how to use their stash
contributions.  I tried to take some of their fabrics home myself but I got caught in the act!

Show and Tell

We were able to see some of the work from last Saturday's successful workshop which Judy had organised. 

Gail's cheery red star

Judy's purple tones.

Kay showed us her lovely quilt in soft tones that she recently completed. The pattern is one of Judy Newman’s from her book, Quilts for Life-Made with Love.

I believe this is to be be a gift for a lucky participant.

Evelyn showed us a number of quilts including the jelly roll quilt which was the first she quilted on her new frame.

The second was one she completed for Joy which was from a challenge a few years ago.

Love the little shirt motives.

Joy's shirt quilt completed

Ann completed the binding on this cheerful baby's charity quilt that Evelyn had made from a kit.




Sheila has been super busy and completed this masterpiece with raw edge appliqué and some there dimensional elements.












And finally, you might remember seeing Judy's giraffes before but the quilt is nearly finished

What have you been working on?
