Birds of a feather

 Post written by Evelyn

It was pointed out to me recently that I hadn't posted on the blog for a long, long time!  I think we've all been busy doing anything except sewing since our restrictions here in Victoria have eased.  This blog post has a bit of a bird theme.

Di made this fantastic Flying Geese quilt.  Di quilted it herself and it was hard work as it measures 78 x 90 inches and she used wool batting!  She's now working on a scrap quilt inspired by one on display at The Retreat in Gisborne.



Kay made this quilt for a Collingwood loving friend.  It started life as a panel!


Sheila has been busy with her birds too!  This cockatoo measures about a metre and a half and was made using batik fabric.  There are approximately 300 pieces of fabric in this raw edged appliqué!



Sheila also made these three Australian native birds panels.  She made the birds by drawing them in chalk on black fabric before painting, trimming and then mounting them on to pieced fabric backgrounds.  



Ann made these two Maze quilts.




Robyn has been busy trying lots of new techniques.  She made this rather lovely bed runner.
