In progress …

Sometimes people say ‘oh, it isn’t finished’ when we ask if they would like to share their quilt tops - they are usually easily persuaded that we just love to see them at any stage. Then we look forward to seeing them all over again when they are a finished quilt.

Miriam’s ‘Bespoked’ quilt top (designed by Annette 
Ferguson) is made with strips of small Liberty Tana lawn 
pieces for the spokes, and a vibrant orange linen for the background. 
Because of the different weights and textures of the linen and lawn,
and it’s large size, Miriam has decided to have this one long-arm 
quilted, although she usually quilts by hand.


Another planned community project is a collection of quilts
made in a number of different lay-outs from half-square
triangles made from the community and personal stashes.
 We started with 6 1/2” squares pieced by various members.
The first top was made by Jill in a straightforward layout.
The bright colours were boosted by pieces from Bernice
Krige’s stash donation and from Jill’s plentiful scraps.


Jenny volunteered to put together a collection of star blocks
generously donated by a quilter from Adelaide. A few
additional blocks made by Jenny make up the numbers.
She is currently deciding on borders.
Thank you for the star blocks and all the others
you have donated Janine Thomson.


Kaffe Fasset fabrics have been missing from Helen’s
stash in the past, so she collected all of these from another
recent generous donation from a down-sizing quilter, and
quickly had a very Kaffe-friendly quilt top together.
Thank you for this donation too Bernice Krige.
