My apologies for the lateness of this post. I have squeaked it into the month of April by one day.
First up is a collection of quilt tops make using the Bonnie Hunter (of quiltville.com) 2024 Mystery Quilt Pattern called Old Town. There were a total of 7 members who participated in this Mystery. All of us used different colour combinations and nearly all of us have completed the top. Participant quilts, from left to right:
Ann L, Marj D, Mary S, Jenny H, Frances H, Donna B and Helen P.
Well done, everyone.
Carol B completed her 2023 online Murder Mystery Quilt top called "Death of a Viking"
We are encouraging everyone to bring their own mug to club. Carol made a sample mug bag for members to see. Carol will help you make this at the June meeting. The needs list is in the May newsletter.
Madeline M made the ever-popular Kiwiana Post Cards quilt for her grandson who is moving to Australia:
Morag O made the following quilt, called Coastal Colours, for a friend's 60th birthday:
The following quilt, called "Garden Chic", was started by the late Heather M, added to and finished by Morag. Its very cheerful.
Next up is another Bonnie Hunter Mystery quilt pattern top, this time from 2023, called Indigo Way, made by Anne L:
Caroline B is a new quilter and is making great progress. Her first completed quilt, called, Sebby's Quilt, is a cheerful baby quilt for her grandson. Caroline was brave enough to quilt it on my Nolting Fun Quilter. She did a great job. The back is a fun dinosaur flannel fabric.
Caroline has gone on the complete this partially made "Strips In Triangles" scrappy quilt. Only half the number of blocks required were done and donated for the Te Awhina Quilt Project. Caroline made more blocks and I quilted it.
Our lovely Annette B always wanted to make a classic blue and white quilt and has completed (apart from the binding being hand sewn) this beautiful "100 Blue Shades of Drunkard's Path."
The back is also spectacular.
Annette had a very moving story to tell about this quilt and she asked me to read it for her.
Karen C has finished her triangles quilt, started in a class held here by Sheila Christensen some years ago. (Don't tell anyone, but my effort is still in blocks in a bag in my cupboard!)
The next quilt is also made by Karen. It's a jelly roll quilt called "Top Down", pattern from Cosy Quilts.
