Show and tell

Making for the craft boutique at our 2020 Quilt Show has well
and truly begun - this week Miriam has made button bouquets,
and Val and Roslyn (stylists) and Geoff (photographer) have
produced a range of cards featuring the two quilts made with
our 2018 black, white and a splash of colour blocks (one of
which is our raffle quilt for the 2020 quilt show. More details
on the raffle quiltand the cards later.

A small lap-sized 'rescue' quilt - it came to us as a packet of
tiny 3" nine patches, with 'colourwash' written on the
packaging, anonymously donated. So Heather volunteered to
join them together as directed, we found border and backing
fabric in the community stash, Janet volunteered to quilt it
and Denise attached the binding - another good team
effort community quilt.

Elaine W has a bundle of pretty, soft Robyn
Pandolph fabric languishing in her own stash, that
she has made into another small lap quilt for our
community collection.

Julie is making some minor repairs to the first machine
applique she ever attempted - a  many-layered Tudor Rose
cushion cover that has lived in the UK and now back in Australia. 

One of a pair of community quilts Julie has recently finished.

Margaret's hexagons are just 1/2" !

Miriam calls this scrappy quilt made with solids
'The Menopause Quilt' - you can see why!

Sue C is very happy with Yvette's quilting on her blue and
white quilt, started ten years ago, and she is thrilled
to have it bound and finished.

Two full sets of these beautiful American barn blocks were
anonymously donated to be made into community quilts.
Made with crisp, modern prints on with a white background,
this is the second quilt, put together by Yvette, who made
and added the sashing, nine-patch corner stones
and border, and quilted it on her long arm machine.

The prints are much-admired Denyse Schmidt designs.
The quilt made from the other block set is in
this post from October 2018.
