June Meeting?

Actually, today is the August Meeting. I got the message today that I haven't done the club blog since May! Woe is me, where does the time go??

So here is the Show & Tell from June"

First up, Myra has done a lovely landscape of Mt Ruapehu and has finished her Happy Villages quilt:
She also showed us an early piece, tied rather than quilted:
Joy is the scrap quilt extraordinaire. She has such a great collection of bright scraps that her quilts are always lovely. Here are two of the latest :

Heather has done this lovely scrap quilt using very tiny pieces. Those little squares are cut at 1 1/2"!
Jean did a fantastic postcard workshop at Symposium. I love the reflection in the land(water?)scape. The leaf is pretty cool too:
Alison finished her Mary Transom 'Autumn Harvest' quilt from the workshop we had a while ago:
This is the results of the printing and dying class Betty did at Symposium. A very nice effect on commercial fabric:
Tracey made this wall hanging:
Lorraine did Gloria Loughman's 'Escape to the Rainforest' workshop at Symposium and this piece is still in progress. I can't wait to see it finished.
She did this quilt at our recent half-nighter:
Rose embroidered the birds on this wall hanging very beautifully:
Trish made a couple of bags:
Madeline made this very nice scrap quilt. I like the sashing and cornerstones around the squares:
Heather made this lovely fused applique I Spy quilt.
Amy is quilting her Cloth Shop Saturday Sampler by the Quilt-As-You-Go method. The colours are too dark in the photo but the fabric is gorgeous:
Three of our members did a Round Robin simultaneously with a group of ladies from England. There were supposed to be 4 of us but one had to pull out because of a bereavement. This is Barbara's
This is Helen's
And this is Annette's:
Lastly, remember that saying "I'd rather be 40 than pregnant"? Well, Rosie discovered she was pregnant at the beginning of the year (much to her 15 year old daughter's disgust who felt she needed to have a 'birds and bees' talk with her father!) This is a quick quilt I made for the coming baby:
