July Show n Tell.

 This month the theme for the meeting was "Challenge Quilts/Wall Hangings, and a lot of them were brought along.

Sorry, the photos have come up in reverse order!!!!!
This is the back and Donna chose this backing because she did not particularly like this material, which was from her sister in law from France...

Made by Donna and was a Shop Hop Quilt when Donna was on a road trip in 2011.

This colourful bed quilt is by Bep and is for her Great Grandson Arlo.  Bep had found this one in a shop hop of Aimee's a few years ago.

"Winding Ways" is the title of this one by Maria and was made using templates.

A Girls Cot Quilt by Donna, was one of two that she had made for her Hairdresser's 2nd Great Granddaughter.

This is a jelly roll creation and Pauline Walton saw it made up and sourced the free pattern but was harder than she expected, She loves it.

M. McCrea made this small wall hanging for her Daughter's new home.  It is titled "Aspen Forest"

"Hunters Race Track from Nanny" by Rosie and is for her Great Grandson. He loves driving his toy cars on quilts so Rosie made one especially for him to drive his cars on.  Joy E quilted it for her.

From one of our new members, Belinder.  The colours were chosen by her Daughter and it was quilted by John Neilson, so it can survive the washing machine!  will become a pillowslip and was her first time paper piecing.  well done.
