| Animal Fair Virginia Coote I used a pattern from Kathy Dougherty and Sarah Fielke’s book, 'Material Obsession'. It was called ‘3 Ring Circus’ but I couldn’t find circus material at the time. It was quite a challenge to cut the spotty and stripe material the right way. I have enough mistakes to make a matching cushion! It was made for the birth of my grandson Tristan and he likes all the bright colours. |

| SO MANY HEARTS Robyn Leek My favourite occupation is hand applique by needle turn. My favourite things to applique are hearts! Also great to have fun with colour. |

| KIRI'S QUILT Virginnia Coote This quilt was made in memory of Kiri's mother Jill, who sadly died 18 months ago. Jill made many of her own clothes and loved large patterns and bright colours. She was also famous for the dressing up outfits she used to make. I have made the quilt using as many fabrics from Jill's stash as I could (cutting up clothes where necessary). The centrepiece I found among her stash is typical of things in her home. I attended Brenda Gael Smith's workshop 'Serendipity Circles' a while ago and I felt the large circles would display the large designs on the fabric to advantage. This has been rather a sad quilt to make, but I have been happy to do this for Kiri. |

| SCAREDY CATS Helen Battellino This started as a black and white quilt, but I couldn’t resist adding a few cheeky cats. Quilted by Christy Wang of Quilting Treasures. |

| SPRING Lyn Lang I started this quilt in a workshop with Anne Sommerlad, using her method of 'no pins- no tack' machine applique and eventually finished it in 2014. |

| THE LESS SAID THE BETTER Val Nadin When visiting exhibitions I've been amused, bemused and confused by 'artists' statements'. So I decided to collect some of the comments - yes, these are actual quotes!! This quilt was shown some years ago but it was decided to give it another airing to help viewers who are lost for words. |
