April Show and tell

Short and sweet this month. Many members were enjoying an Easter holiday and so the faithful few gathered for the meeting.

We are running a "Choose a Charity" Quilt auction at our exhibition next year. This is Veronica's contribution:


Rose N has completed her "Five Golden Rings" also for the auction.


Audrey's quilt is called "All That Jazz" Another contribution for the quilt auction next year.
Aren't these three quilts lovely.


Amy has made these animal friends inspired by the magazine "Stuffed"


Carols table runner "Carols Cats" cute faces - and a real smooge look!



Carol loves bags. We call her the "Bag Lady" Here is her latest made with lovely Laurel Burch cat fabric.



Carol received this next bag in an on-line swap. I like this bag. I hope she puts it down and forgets about it! I'll put it to good use.



Frances did a mystery quilt class by Susan Claire at Wellington Symposium. Here is the result of her efforts. The border comes from Judy Martin's Log Cabin Book

Missing In Action - Feb Show and Tell

Hi everyone

For those of you who have been wondering where February's Show & Tell went to, it is here. Susan accidentally created a new blog rather than a new post so, to save her having to re-post everything, here is a click-able link to Show & Tell February 2010.

Happy viewing!

Show & Tell Dec 09

Frances has made this sweet little fairy skirt and blue dress. I think it must be for someone special. They are so cute.

Show & Tell Dec 09

A delightful quilt made by Judy P. Lovely soft blues and pinks. She has made this for herself.

















Anne P has been very busy making a lovely quilt her grocery manager's new daughter.





















Madeline has made these fabulous quilts for her grandsons. There are spiders on the back...eeekk. The blue and black in made in the Pagoda Block.



















Doreen has made this delightful Christmas wall hanging. She says it is "a work in Progress". It has been emblellished as well.
















Maureen M has been sewing overtime. She has made some soft dolls and dresses for her granddaughters.



































Marie has made this quilt from a design she found in the Australian P & Q magazine. She of course has done her interpretation of it. Now she just needs help on how to quilt it.


















Betty has finished her blue and yellow ginger jars. She has done all the applique by machine and it's taken almost two years to complete. This is truly stunning to look at. A masterpiece.




















Rae has shown us this little quilt made from a postcard picture. Really cute.















Carol B made this cute reindeer in purple with spots. And a bag from a 20"square.



















Annette B has bought along some projects that have been finished. The jandals quilt is very bright. I think she got the idea from a Fons and Porter Magazine.
There is also our previous years Row by Row challenge. This is called 'Summer Holidays @ the Beach with mother'. This is such a fun quilt.
Then there is this years Round Robin. And a delightful cot quilt with flowers and hearts.






































Myra has done a small Christmas Runner.







Frances C has done this stunning Patridge in a Pear Tree. It has taken 3 years and it is all hand quilted. Another masterpiece. I admire anyone who does hand quilting.



















Barbara C has made a gift for her neighbour for Christmas. A lovely tablecloth that she made in two weeks. She also has finished her 'half nighter'. This was a do your own thing quilt. She had embellished it with all sorts of baubles and trinkets. Really cute.

Show & Tell Dec 09

Sorry these are late but I thought I had it all figured out but no not me. I have finally done it and if I have anything wrong I do apologise in advance. Here's hoping for a successful quilting year.

November Show & Tell

Just in time (it's the December meeting tomorrow - yikes!) I'm posting the November Show & Tell.

First up is a picture of what happens when someone brings fabric to fossick through :-)
Alison wanted one of Griet Lombard's one-of-kind handbags when we visited her on our Mystery Bus Trip recently. The one she wanted got sold before she could put her hand on it so she commissioned Griet to make her one in turquoise. The photo isn't so clear but the bag is lovely. Karen also showed her Griet bag but the photo disappeared into the ether.
This is my scrappy quilt called God's Eye (after the wool and stick weaving we did when we were kids)
And the horrifically bright ziz zag quilt finally got finished (it's alright for me to say this, it's my quilt - ha, ha)
I also made this bag - and I'm not a bag person
Donna demonstrated these Christmas tree ornaments
Maria showed us her lovely Double Wedding Ring quilt top which is being sent off to the quilters. We won't see it again - it's going to a wedding!
Margaret made this lovely stack 'n' whack
Frances G showed us her miniature house wall hanging
and her very cute teddy bear quilt
The applique on Myra's bag was lovely
Tracey made this ever-popular bug quilt
and this absolutely gorgeous rose wall hanging
Karen C showed us her country style sampler quilt
Illeen made this very simple but very sweet lap quilt from 4 1/2" squares. I love the fabric.
Rosalie was making good progress on her community quilt. It ended up a lot bigger than this and is now finished and distributed

Rose made a wonderful job of this Japanese Cranes quilt
Judith used a variety of techniques in this heart quilt
Lynette finished her row by row quilt with a Halloween theme
Brenda has finished her first quilt. It took while but she got there!

and she has finished quilting her Perfectly Imperfect quilt.Barbara finished her round robin quilt

And finishing with an animal theme Rae made this very cute dachshund wall hangingand Amy showed us her progress with the blocks from Griet Lombard's cat pattern. You goota love their expressions.
