August Show and Tell

Janet Greeks came to talk about using rulers while free motion quilting on a domestic sewing machine.  Thanks Janet!  You do beautiful work.




Stephanie showed off a finished community quilt that she had sent off to be long arm quilted by Mathea Daunheimer of Esparta Fiber Arts.


Ingrid is getting ready for Christmas with this table runner.


A gorgeous cushion with the back used as a practice piece for free motion quilting.


My memory fails me, but I think this is a community quilt finished off and handed back to be given to Women's Refuge.


A community quilt that went to the local maternity unit for use on the bassinets.


Another community quilt - really cheerful!


This bassinet quilt has also been donated to the local maternity unit.


Another community quilt, made from bingo blocks - these were blocks made to play a kind of fabric bingo game. 


Beatrice made a table runner from Kiwiana fabrics.


Then she went a little mad with selvedges!!  



These are little 'strawberry' reusable bags to put in your handbag so you don't have to use a plastic bag from the shop.  


Aida's healing heart quilt.


Diane's quilt - beautiful hand work as usual.


And another from Diane, black and white with a touch of red.

We also had the unveiling of our Chinese Whispers challenge, but I'll do that in the next blog post - stay tuned!
