Show n Tell December 2023

We had a Club Challenge organised by Frances, called Kings Crown. There were 12 enteries and they were each given a 1/8ths challenge fabric to make a 12in square quilted and bound.  It was to be in celebration of the Kings Coronation but it was extended to December.

Here are the members who took up the challenge.

Here is the winner of the challenge, voted by viewers choice. Maureen. congratulations.

A lovely colourful scrap quilt by Maureen and quilted by her.  She said it was easy to work with smaller strips.

This wall hanging is called "Our Christmas Decorations Circa 1960" and is by Annette Bourne.  It started with log cabin tree blocks and was finished in 2006 but she decided it was not enough so added a large  appliqued border, by hand, and found she did not enjoy being a hand sewer but she has finished it for Christmas 2023.  Well done.

This is called Heavenly Singer and the redwork was by the late Heather McLeod. Annette put a binding and label on it and will hang it each Christmas to remember Heather.

Mount Mellick Cushion by Diane Harries.  Was made in a class with Australian Tutor Yvette Stanton.  Mount Mellick is a town in Ireland.  This fringe was knitted and then attached to the pillow.

 

This table runner was made by Donna and was from a kit she bought when she went to Len Southwards Quilt Show this year.  It is for her Daughter Susie.

 

This lovely stitchery is by Jo and was made for her Mother.

 

We were asked to bring along a favorite item and these 2 landscape scenes were made by Donna when she attended a workshop at Cotton On and was a fun day.

Nutcracker Solider, made by Veronica and is one of her favourite Christmas wall hangings.

This quilt is called "Love It" and was made by Marie Greggains, she saw the fabric and fell in love with it.
