Show N Tell March 2018

This months theme was "Recycled"

 

Donna has been happily stitching felt onto cushion covers for awhile now, her Sister gave her some Air NZ first class toilet bags and she decorated them and gave one each to her Friday Stitching group. Lucky ladies.

 

 

Carol B. made this for a C.O.Q. Challenge some years ago. It has her Mum's kitchen curtains on the back.

 

 

This is titled "My First Quilt" and is by Christine T.  It was the poorest time of her life and she had also moved to a new area where she did not know anyone so she bought old clothing & sheets from the thrift shop and taught herself quilting.

 

 

Jenny R. liked her old jeans so much that she made a bag and embellished it. She did say she probably would not be able to fit the same jeans now!

 

 

"Jackets" by Jo B.  Modelled by Maureen L.  Jo had time on her hands when she was up the river and thought what can I do with a shirt Betty had given her.

 

 

 

 

This is the back of a 2006 challenge called "Op Pertunity" by Maureen L.  It was a recycled challenge at North Otago Patches & Quilters. 

 

 

And the front of the quilt.

That is the finish of the recycled items, it is amazing what can be done.

 

 

"Black & White" quilt which was a block of the month, by Madeline Mc. Lovely splash of colour.

 

 

"Circus"  by Rosie N.  This was a block of the month from Ammie's in  Palmerston North. Nicely finished.

 

 

Rosie N. started making this about 1 year ago at Fox Cottage, Foxton and she finished it yesterday.

 

 

Some more bags from Carol B. The were purchased as a kit from USA and she found them very easy to make.  Carol is going to give them to her great nieces for their birthdays, with treats in the pockets. A lovely gift.

 

 

Stack n Whack. This is a Carey Hackett (deceased member) top and has been quilted by Helen.  It is one of the tops that Carey did not get a chance to finish.

 

 

"Summer on the Lake" by Helen P.  It was a Bonnie Hunters mystery quilt called "On Ringo Lake" Started Nov & Dec 2017 and finished in Jan 2018. Helen says "a miracle" Well done.

 

 

This is Frances H. effort of the mystery quilt.  Hers is the top only and she started Nov 2017. Frances followed the mystery on line over Christmas.  She wrote ...... tiny little pieces. At least it is finished!!

 

 

Another  quilt from the same pattern, by Maureen L.  Also a beautiful finished project.

 

 

A recycled bag by Veronica D. It is made from a woollen coat.
