In progress …

 

‘Lucy of the Crosses’ is an English paper piecing marathon.
 Denise is nearing the finish of her classic version, and has 
already spoken to Laura about long-arm quilting.


Pat took her large Sashiko piece with her on a trip to
Japan - but sewed no stitches at all!
She will catch-up now that she is home,

Roslyn is hand piecing little Tessa lasting Kiminos.

Another  ‘Happy Saturday’ post from Miriam:
‘This week I found this Sewmiriam Tinman children’s 
quilt top in my cupboard of lost, lonely and forgotten 
items, so now it’s pinned and ready for quilting. 
Am I the only one who puts away and forgets things 
nearly completed?’
Pretty sure it’s not just you Miriam!


Elaine W is stitching her way through small mountains of
hexagons - she is not alone!

Duck, Duck Goose quilt pattern by Meags and Me.

The ‘Play Ball’ series - recap

All three of the ‘Play Ball’ quilts are now finished, so here’s a look at them all together. All of the feature fabrics and two of the backings are part of a very generous donation to our community stash, and come from a coordinated fabric range. Many hands made the four-patch starter blocks, Sue sewed them into three quilt tops, Laura generously quilted all of them. Jeni, Susan K and Anne finished them off with binding and labels. 

The design is by Emily Bailey whose pattern can be purchased online as a .pdf download.
