Hi everyone
A small and select Show & Tell at this month’s meeting.
First up is this beautiful table runner by Diane H. She was exploring using Japanese yarn-dyed fabric with machine appliqué and quilting. Lovely soft colour palette.
Caroline B completed the binding on her Lupine and Laughter quilt. This pattern was last year’s Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt and was Caroline’s first foray into doing mystery quilts. This year’s mystery is starting soon with the colours and fabric requirements posted at the end of October and the actual mystery clues starting at the end of November. Weekly clues for 6 to 8 weeks. Free via the Quiltville blog.
Veronica whipped up this jelly roll rug during our recent retreat weekend. She cut her own jelly roll and used the instructions given by Clara’s Creations on Facebook. Clara gives very good hints and tips to make rugs and bowls.
This tote bag was made by Beverly Casey from free fabric that was available at the last club day. The gold ribbon was from free stash at P.N. Embroidery Guild Stand Stitch.
This bag is also made by Beverly. She wanted something to sew by hand while she was on holiday in Cromwell. It took longer than she thought and there were a few details missing from the pattern. It was started last school holidays.
Beverly also made this advent calendar from a panel bought at Cushla’s in Devonport about 8 years ago and just finished.
Jenny H has completed her Wensleydale quilt, pattern by Jen Kingwell. Beautiful colour choices.
Madeleine M made the centre of this round robin quilt which was completed by members of Riverside Quilters. She is keeping this one as a lap quilt for herself.
Diamonds and Dots was also made by Madeleine and is a good way to use up 2 1/2” squares made into blocks.
Blue & Green Should Never Be Seen is another Madeleine creation to use up scraps.
Last, but not least, this lovely folded star cushion was made by Leslie A. She was inspired to have a go at folded star patchwork by the late Nola Morris who lent Leslie the instructions. Nola had made a pot holder.
