Recent finishes and current projects

 How did you go with finishing things off in 2020? Have you started a new quilt for the new year? Our first meeting for the year will be on Zoom next week, so we will expect quite a catch-up. Here are some borrowed from Instagram until then ...

We don't often have photos of quilts with cows, so Miriam's
version of Brigitte Giblin's 'Bloom Hill Quilt' getting approval
from the cows, is very welcome. The fabrics are 1930's feed
sacks. You can see close-ups of the individual blocks on
Miriam's Instagram account @sewmiriam, as she posts
one on the first of each month as her calendar blocks.

Stephanie made a push to finish off a number of quilts
by the end of 2020, including her Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt,
'Grand Illusion', her oldest unfinished project,
started in 2014-2015.

It made a lovely quilt swirl!


Another late 2020 finish by Stephanie was this quilt-as-you-go
hexagon collection, made to Raspberry Spool's pattern, for
donation to the Mothers' Union Sydney Shop.


Sue C has been machine quilting a community
quilt started late last year ...

And finishing a very sharp edge on a hand-quilted one for
herself, started many years ago. This technique is more time-
consuming, but eliminates the need for binding
and gives a very clean edge.

Nerida is sewing along with @zanymouse and 
@stephjacobsondesigns and friends as they finish their More
Modern HST quilts. She's thinking long bars, Amish
style setting with some resting space between.
It will be beautiful.

Pat is very happy with her fabric roses.
