July Show & Tell - Part 1

We had a fantastic meeting last Saturday, with well over 50 in attendance, 6 visitors (3 of whom joined on the spot,) a popular Techniques Training session, and with Anne and Marion from Breast Screening Aotearoa as our Guest Speakers. They brought with them the quilts from the 2007 Symposium challenge "Women's Health - Life's Great Balancing Act". We finished with a great Show & Tell of 29 items made by members.

I'm going to post this month's Show & Tell in several parts because there was so much of it. Well done everyone!

Rosie had an attentive audience as she demonstrated how to make the 3-D Bow Tie block:
Busy quilters in the morning session:
Rosie made this baby quilt for her husband's boss' soon to be new grandchild. Apparently her husband came home and asked if she could make a quilt for the anticipated event. "Sure," she said, "How long have I got?" "Well she is due in a month," replies Hubby. "And you have known this for how long?" (Quite a few months ,apparently!)Rianne (age 13) is making this quilt for the up-coming NANZQ exhibition to enter in the junior section
Sonia's son is getting married in Canada soon and she made this stunning quilt as the wedding quilt. (If you look back to last month's Show & Tell you can see the picnic/dog quilt she also made. The dog is definitely NOT allowed on this one!) The pattern is Lillibet's Garden by Beth Ferrier and was an internet Block of the month last year.
Sonia had it professionally custom quilted at Karamu Quilting and the work is just wonderful, complementing the quilt perfectly . Sorry there isn't a better picture of it.
