Is It August Already?

Since I have been such a slack blogger for quite some time you have 3 lots of show & tell to feast your eyes on today. I don't think I have ever made 3 posts in one day and may this teach me a lesson to do it straight after each meeting! Make sure you scroll down to get the June, July and August Show and Tell.

There were lots of quilts today. The first one is a strip-pieced hexagon spider web quilt by Susan:
Next are two Cathedral Window quilts by Rosemarie:

Joy has made 4 more scrap quilts. I'm only showing half of them because 'someone' was standing in front of the other half when the pictures were taken :-)



Anne is one of our senior members and is vision-impaired, but still she quilts!
Frances G made this ever-popular gollie pattern:
Not a 'quilt', in the sense that it has no batting, and it was not made by her, but Kath thought this piece of embellished embroidery from Thailand was worth taking a closer look at:
Judy made this scrap quilt for our community quilts project:
Veronica made this for her grand daughter:
Maureen is also a member of Rangitikei Quilters and won a prize at their recent exhibition with this very interesting piece:
Carol is sending this top off to the quilter on Monday. Lucky she noticed one of the borders is on upside down before she sent it!
Audrey did a workshop by Anna Williams. I think it is called Persian Carpet:
This was made by Rosalie for a new great niece:
The next two are cot quilts made by Rose for the community quilts project:

Ruth has finished stitching her sashiko piece started in Robyn Burgess' Symposium workshop:
Anita, who is the queen of the basting table, had been practising herf ree motion quilting on these two pieces:

This is Madeline's quilt for the community quilt project:
and this is Rae's donation:
Myra has finished the NZ fabric waistcoat for her husband. She says he is gooing to wear it to work next week. good on him!
She also made this quilt and used a walking foot for the first time:
A lesson from Frances on the perils of using wool batting. This is the very first quilt she made, for her grandson. Guess what happened when it got washed? He won't let her fix it up. He loves it the way it is, all wrinkly (like some of us are getting!)
As Frances showed her latest work, her daughter Amy was heard to say " she went through all my cupboards!". Amy was away on holiday and France 'pinched' this quilt so it could get to the finished stage. Amy started it for her first daughter Georgia (now 2 and a half) and Frances completed the quilting so Sienna, Amy's second daughter (who is now about 7 months old), can have a quilt too :-)
