After the Easter break...what's new?

Lots of new projects  showed their faces today

Vibrant colours 

and more bright cheerfulness 

Eileen loves hand appliqué

 sure we will seem more of this in weeks to come.

Jan is making a farmyard quilt.

The hen is her favourite, but I love that pig

We may have seen this before.

Murial is paper piecing this block

and look at these yummy Liberty prints

Toni spent hours placing her "hexies", then more hours repositioning them.....she got there in the end

Such pretty fabrics

Hazel and Lynda hand quilting

Will it be finished for the exhibition???

See how Barbara showed Hazel how to tack using a spoon!

Shirley was a bit late handing in her 'Challenge', she had a good excuse, and what a great little quilt.

 

This will be given as a 'Linus' Quilt.

In the past we have seen quilts for cats, quilts for dogs, but this quilt takes the biscuit....... its a sleeping bag quilt for a neighbours teddy bear.... how sweet is that?

She really does have too much time on her hands.

I am not sure how long Fran has been working on this baby, but what a beauty. All the blocks are embroidered with 'candlewicking'.  Unfortunately I am no professional photographer, and even though we took the quilt outside the photos don't do justice to this quilt.

Each block is different

For some lucky little girl

Don't forget that next week is our 'all day' meeting and Diana Turner will be with us for some 'Crazy patchwork Embellishment.
