Show and tell

Janet is building a village - the pattern is 'Winter Village'
by Laundry Basket Quilts

Elaine W loves William Morris fabric and designs - she has 
quite a collection - her beautifully executed machine applique 
is Michele Hill's design 'Floral Sampler', with substituted
 motifs around the edges of the centre.


And at almost the same time, Elaine has made a second quilt top
using older William Morris style fabrics from her stash in a
geometric design - she really does love them.
Lyn recently found a collection of 'one fabric' blocks in a drawer
and settled on a layout - one top ready to wing its way to a friend
in the UK who will quilt it and donate it to a foster child there.
International collaborative community quilting for the win.
Blue hexagons and fussy cutting - irresistable! Robin made these
ones into a tiny zippered pouch. Below is the reverse side.

Slow stitching saw this quilt finished over 11 years. Jill kept
the corner offcuts from the large flying geese used in a quilt
she made in 2007, sewed them together with the left over
geese and fabric scraps from the original quilt, finished
with hand quilting and a bargain-buy Kaffe Fasset backing.
The featured floral fabric caught Susan's eye in a shop, and when
she returned a second time it was still there beckoning her. She
hesitated about the white fabric, but it has turned out to be an
excellent foil for the brighter colours in a quilt that says 'spring'.
