Busy busy bees!

Post written by Evelyn

We've all been very busy during lockdown.  We've all had our different ways of doing things though.  Some people are using up their stash and others are buying lots more.  Some people are tidying and sorting and others are making more mess.  Guess which one of those I am!  Other people have been learning new skills.  And then others have just sat back and relaxed!

I've been busy buying essential supplies.  Actually, I have done a lot of sewing but haven't finished anything!  I have a LOT of bindings I'm trying to pretend I don't have to do!  If we were able to meet up I'd be looking very hopefully at people ha ha!

Janette made this lovely quilt for her newest granddaughter.  The cats were embroidered on her machine.

Ann Mc has finished off a few more quilts.  I've lost count of her total! This quilt is a crazy log cabin that Ann started in 2010 at a workshop in Benalla.  

This animal quilt was pieced using a couple of panels.

Ann's Heartstrings quilt finished.

This gorgeous quilt comes from the book Garden Fresh Quilts by Jason Yenter.  Ann bought the book and fabrics while she was on holiday once upon a time when we were allowed.

Robyn made this bag and quilt for Backpacks for kids

She made this book bag for her grandson who supports the wrong footy team!

Robyn started making these hexies as a carry around project when we were meeting up.  She's turned it into this gorgeous table runner.

Robyn also made these Melba flower purses.  I believe there was a lot of swearing while she formed the flowers but don't tell her I told you!

Robyn made this dreamcatcher quilt for her granddaughter.  She practiced her free motion quilting on it.

Kay has been really busy.  I know she has a lot of quilt tops finished ready for quilting.  She made these zippered bags for her daughter and grandchildren in SA.

Kay made this Splendid tote

And this bag for her granddaughter.

This chook quilt is destined for Kay's van.  Happy travels chooks!

Kay bought this cute doggy fabric while in the US and made the quilt as a gift for her niece.

This knitted vest is for one of Kay's grandsons.

Kay jumped on the cleaning bandwagon and carefully wrapped her fabrics around comic board.  They look brilliant!

Judy A started this bag a while ago when she first got her Sashiko machine.  The fabrics are laid randomly onto batting and quilted with the machine.

Here's Annie C's mini version of the 1840, The Key Family quilt.  It measures 33inches.  The half square triangles, all 1,668 of them, finish at 3/8"!!
