Show N Tell May 2016

 

This post of our show n tell will mainly just be a visual post as I was not at the meeting and I only know a few of the names the quilts belong to.

This is a very stunning looking quilt.

 

 

Love the way these block have been set out in the quilt.

 

 

This was shown by Heather, not sure where she found it but it is a real gem!

 

 

This wall hanging has lovely embroidered blocks on it.

 

 

These next 2 items have quilting techniques about them.

Obviously work in progress!

 

 

 

 

Sorry but this photo is very light and you can not see the embroidery on the blocks.

 

 

A couple more table runners.

 



 

This bag & table runner I think belongs to Diane.  She has been a busy lady.

 



 

Lovely colours in this nautical quilt.  I am sure I saw Heather holding this quilt up in the photo before I cropped it!!

 

 

And this lovely crotched rug is Heather's as well.  It is beautiful.

 

 

I love the colours in this New Zealand themed quilt. It was made by Jenny R.

 

 

These block of the month have been made by Donna, a work in progress.

 

 

These two photos were sent to me by Heather, who made the NZ cushions for her Son, who lives in Canada.  A touch of home.

Frances H. has turned a challenge block into a cushion. Lovely colours.

 

Suzy has been very busy making hexagon runners.

 



 

This whole quilt was made by Vanda and is for a colleague's Nephew.

 

This bright red quilt is by Karen C.  the pattern is called Jacob's Ladder.

 



 

Illeen C made this bed runner. The colours all go together beautifully.

 

 

Donna B. has made some luggage labels.

 

Carol B. has been busy making table runners.  This one is made up from 2.5in squares.

 



 

This runner was a from a pattern in a magazine.

 



 

And the 3rd one was from the left overs. Well done Carol!



 

This is a Becky Goldsmith pattern called Birds in a Summer Garden. It is by Alison B.

 



 

Cotton on Quilters held a weekend retreat recently and everyone made a pencil case.

 



Kathleen E. has made up a couple of cushions in felt, her own design.

 



 

Kathleen also made a scrap quilt, and Poppy the cat, helped with the placement of the blocks!

March Show n Tell

 

 

This is a lovely photo of one of our members, Maureen , who deceided to be a model for this beautiful felted hat.

Our guest speaker for March was Karen Workman, a felting artist, who kept us very entertained.

 

First up was a cot quilt made by Rosie N. Note the little cloth book she is holding, she made that as well.

 

Madeline looked up a web site called Co's Bend, I think, which is all about making quilts out of what you have on hand.  She has made a lap quilt, the colours all go together very well.

 



 

Maureen M had a lovely stash of rustic coloured batiks and made a beautiful bed quilt with them.

 

 

Maureen L has made a quilt for a new Grandson who lives in Australia. Love the border print she has used, it goes with the verse, "What Little Boys Are Made Of".

 

 

Diana has completed her Satin & Lace wall hanging. Looks lovely.

 

 

Betty B. showed us her interpretation of Peter Pan from Never Never Land.

 

 

Veronica showed us her needle case, inspired by Sue Spargo, using her beautiful cottons and stitches.

 

This one is by Judy P.

 

 

Lesley spent time in the school holidays with her Grandaughter helping her make a Minyan Doll.

February 2016 Show N Tell

 

We had a great turn out for the 1st meeting of 2016, but I do not think a lot of quilting was done over the holiday break.  But here is the 1st for show n tell and it is a lovely cream & burgundy quilt by Sonia.

 

Rosie has made this from a kit through Grandmother's Garden.  It is called Japanese Fans.

 

This very colourful hanging is by Carol B.  She started it at the Nelson Symposium.

 

Veronica has completed a felt cushion which she started at the Kimbolton  retreat.

 



 

She also finished this lovely Houses Quilt.  an oldie but very much a favourite.

 

 

Veronica is one of the few members that has been busy quilting! This is her wall hanging of "My Winter Garden"  A Greit Lombard workshop C.O.Q. had.

 

 

Maureen has also completed her "My Winter Garden"

 



 

This is Diana's version.

 

 

Lesley has put her squares onto a canvas.  Very  effective.

 

 

Jenny r. has nearly finished her "My Winter Garden" hanging.

 

Lesley also made small versions for Christmas presents.  I am keen to complete mine now!!

 

 

This lovely Kiwiana table runner is by Diana.



 

Maureen has made a couple of Bionic Gear Bags.  They certainly can hold a lot of stuff.
