Last weekly show and tell for 2018!

One last show and tell before we take our summer break. The sewing won't stop all together, we just won't see it until mid-January.

The spots and stripes log cabin blocks came as a
donation for our community quilts collection, and were
cleverly put together by Marg K. Lynette has quilted
 and bound it - team effort. The green sashing (it too
has a spot - a darker green pin-dot) is a very effective
foil to the business of the blocks.

Jan's gorgeous large quilt is made with a
variety beautiful soft pastels

Janice has finished her new son-in-law's
personalised Christmas stocking just in time
- the traditional cross stitch is embellished
with beads.

We were so pleased to welcome Julie back after a
long illness. As soon as she was well enough,
she filled some of the long hospital hours with stitching
precut hexagons together, and has made a
substantial start on a new quilt.

Julie also brought along a community quilt she had
finished before her sudden illness - she persisted with
the freehand, no-rulers curves she had seen others make,
but admits that freehand cutting is not really her 'thing',
so she'll be polishing up her rulers for her next quilt.

This pretty hexie pouch is very Nerida!

A lucky little boy will be in possession of his
dinosaur quilt made by great-aunt Lyn very soon.
The piecing pattern is very clever. Lyn found a perfect
bright dinosaur print for the backing - and yes, a photo
of that too would have been a good idea!

Roslyn  is making two of these quilts well in
advance of her new twin daughters moving into
their big beds, which will be before they know it.
