Tuesday night show and tell - not all quilts .... yet.


Dina is contemplating how to cut these gorgeous spicy stripes from Las Vegas for a "magic square" pattern requiring mitre-style perfect matching, with Jane's encouragement. Most visitors to Vegas don't head straight for the four quilting shops and ignore the casinos, but that's just what Dina and her sister Cindy did - those girls have their priorities right!

Pam's Very Big Quilt has taken a while to hand quilt - but she's done it, and it's on the bed! The colours are just beautiful.

With the very big quilt done, Pam finished her challenge row x row (from 2006 or maybe 2007 .....), with machine quilting this time, and look what a clever backing she came up with after she decided that the original backing fabric would make the perfect border. This week - binding!

Janet is foundation piecing her peace cranes by hand. Those little pieces sometimes have minds of their own ....

Jo whipped this quilt up from a Japanese patterned panel and a few bits and pieces!


We've got a bit of a "hexagonathon" going on Tuesday evenings .... all sizes from Louise's tiny, tiny 1 cm hexagons, Noelle's slightly larger and much larger pink, blue and creams, and Robyn's pale blue, taupe and cream hexagon diamonds. Helen is making hexagon's too ......

Elaine's been on a five week trip to Canada and the US, so instead of quilting, she's been shopping! The book includes patterns with pop-out templates .... and check out those cute little grey bear paw prints on cream in the bottom left corner.

Dina's been applique-ing and quilting - a farm animal picnic rug for the little people in her family. Each animal's eye's have been given individual attention so that all have unique facial expressions!
