April Gatherings

Oh there's so many projects to make!  And even more to want to make...........  April was certainly following hot on the heels of previous months with lots of show'n'tell and progress on many projects...

Starting with English Paper Piecing on La Pascaligia...



And then, W, showed us another of her Brimfield blocks...

H, is working away on this magnificent applique medallion.  There are some very quirky birds on this piece.  Can't wait to see what comes next!


Then there was a parade of elephants.  Hand applique with eyes and tails to be added for a great grandchild to come..
`

And, some very cute printed ones are shown to great advantage in this quilt...


In March, Kilmore Quilters was lucky enough to have Veronique from Wattlebird Designs come and spend a day with us, demonstrating her Pele Mele Quilt.  J has been quite prolific with hers and says that they are very addictive to make...


Hand piecing this month included some lovely delicate hexagons and L, is hand-piecing squares which she says are from the oldest part of her stash. 
 


Shadow Box quilts are a fantastic way to show off big prints and this one from Asian inspired fabrics is no exception
 


Letting the fabric do the work, there is terrific shading in this ombre quilt.  This J has told us she is working on our challenge of completing 10 UFOs this year and this is one of them.

 J's second UFO to finish are these birdhouses.  A very small quilt, with precision detail.  I put the reel of thread on top so that you can get an idea of the tiny scale of the blocks.

 

We hope that you all had a happy and safe Easter and look forward to seeing many of you soon.
