The piece below is being made by our male member - B - he is putting together the most amazing applique, full of Egyptian Mythology. His knowledge of history is quite something.
English Paper Piecing - is quite addictive! Also, so much choice these days with many types of papers and templates available to choose from. Although, one cannot deny the attraction of a simple hexagon...... Can you see the box of prepared hexagons just under the table? Oh wow.........
Or the alternating shapes which either begin with a hexagon or finish up as a hexagon shape.....
And we mustn't forget "Patchwork of the Crosses" or simple stars....
Or a "Trip Around the World".
Then we moved onto hand-piecing. Simply gorgeous
And knitting with self-patterning yarn... Those socks and that beanie are going to be well loved. We are eagerly awaiting the show'n'tell of the finished items.
Then we finish off with a wonderful display of machine pieced items. Starting with a "jelly roll race" quilt. Followed by the awesome traffic quilt.
Scrappy Stars - the back is as gorgeous as the front.
And some more scrappy stars with alternating 'wonky' courthouse steps blocks. Two different settings using the same blocks to create very diverse looking quilts.
During 2017 we had a fun sewing day where we all made the "Scrappy Trips" Pattern by Bonnie Hunter. J has finished hers, completed with a pieced section on the back.
And to finish off, a simple block, made in many sizes to create a glorious riot of colour and fun!
