September Gatherings

What a wonderful month we've had - so many very prolific members.  Our Show'n'tell this month is fantastic.  

We start this month with a stunning applique panel, oops, it's sideways, but you can still see how amazing it is.....

B, has returned with his Egyptian Mythology panel, which has had more added to it since he last showed it back in June

C has been working away on another border of her "Rotherfield's Greys" quilt.  First you make lots of little stars which are then appliqued onto background squares.

For something a little different, here is the most delicate tea cup and saucer - certainly one for admiring...

On the other end of the scale, some lovely chunky variegated knitting, sure to keep it's owner lovely and warm.

Sometimes simplicity is the best - look at those lovely even stitches in this sashiko piece.  Ahhhh....

We have two very diverse but oh so pretty quilt tops in progress, first the four patch diamonds, followed by hand-pieced flowers.  The colours these two ladies have chosen are simply gorgeous.

This photo has been blown up quite large so that you can see the embroidered wreath.  Perfect stitching.

No gathering is complete without Hexagons!  It seems they just like to be where-ever we are! :)  It really doesn't matter what fabrics you make them from, they just look good and bring a lovely feeling of nostalgia with them.

We are excited to see what the hexagon medallion below is going to have around it.  

And, not to be out-done, hexagon shapes can also be "tumbling" or "baby" blocks.  Simply take 3 diamond shapes and 3 shades of colour for a wonderful 3-D effect.

Applique within Kilmore Quilters never fails to please.  From the farmyard to a cheeky cocky, we couldn't help but smile when we saw these two quilts...

Our newest member, Ce, is getting a head start on Christmas!  Very cute applique of Santa, reindeer and a penguin!

To finish off, here is the show'n'tell of completed quilts...  Very diverse and all so perfect.

From memory, these circles of oceans is heading O/S to live with the makers grandson so that he has "hugs from Grandma" while living far away, also made by Ce.

The snowball and 9-patch bears and the two colour quilt were both started at the KQ Retreat, back in 

May.  

The Lone Star quilt and the twirling (Windmills of My Mind) have both been made by the same person.  Diversity is the name of the game!

Thank you for sharing with us what we like to do.  Don't forget the Kilmore Quilters "Quilt In" is being held on Saturday 13th October.  Please e-mail:  kilmorequilters@live.com for details.
