Last regular show and tell for 2019

Our final regular meetings for the year have come and gone, with some excellent show and tell, and an opportunity to pay tribute to one our most generous community quilters ...

Lyn's latest large quilt finish is foundation pieced
- that's a lot of papers to have removed! And all those pretty,
colourful scraps? Lyn says there are plenty more ...

Lyn used her Westerlee quilting rulers to free motion quilt it -
she is enjoying her new skills mean she can quilt on her
domestic machine more quickly and accurately.

Janet has a large quilt to be finishing the machine quilting
on (it is started), so of course she took some of her left
over blues and made another quilt at the same time!
We know she is not the first.

Pam had help from her 12 year old granddaughter in
making her grandson's quilt - adding a budding quilter
to the family is a bonus!

Robin W thinks she is finished with her blue scraps now
... just the pink and range to go! Thank you for another
community quilt donation, Robin.

Lynette was responsible for structuring our very successful
community sewing program with a community stash and
regular monthly sewing days over ten years ago, and she
remains one of its most prolific contributors, making quilts from
start to finish, and often collaborating to quilt and bind quilt
tops made by others. This quilt and the following five are her
most recent finishes.

Disappearing four patch is one of Lynette's favourite
traditional designs.
A calming choice of colours and prints.



Susan reconstructed a donated quilt top, deleting and
adding some elements to make a more cohesive design, and
Lynette has quilted and bound it. This one was definitely
a challenge.
There seems to be an endless supply of blue print squares to be
made into quilt tops, and Lynette is more than doing her bit!
