October Gatherings

October was certainly a busy month, no wonder it has come and gone so quickly!

Apart from our Quilt In we were profiled in a booklet all about Kilmore.  A number of community groups were chosen to host the local MP, be interviewed by her and then have some photos taken.  It was on the 6th Oct, that a few of us went to the launch of this booklet.  We had a lovely morning tea, watched a short presentation and enjoyed each other's company as well as that of the other community groups.

The article in this book is a good representation of what we are about.  It is indeed an honour to be part of the fabric of Kilmore.

More information about  Spotlight on Kilmore can be found here.




The very stormy weather certainly put a huge damper on our night gathering, but the day gathering was well attended and once again, the Show'n'Tell was wonderful.

English Paper Piecing and Fussy Cutting seem to be the "flavour of the month" at the moment, as the pics below will show.....

 

 




W and S were both showing us how beautiful hand applique and hand embroidery can be.

Scrappy Quilting, ie:  using your scraps in a controlled manner, with a common element in each block can make for some stunning quilts.  P is making stars by hand and K was trimming up some blocks for another charity quilt.

     

Then, S was using up her scraps for her hexagon quilt.  You may remember a couple of months ago when we posted a much smaller hexagon piece with a photo of the box of prepared hexies - the quilt top is growing while the box is emptying!

 And, on the right, J is working on the embroidered piece.  Such perfect, even stitches. 

After such a busy October, we hope to see many of you at our November Gatherings and at the 10-10 Super Saturday Sew-In on Sat 17th Nov.
