What a productive month we've had! This is a very photo heavy blog post for November, with many, many pieces of show'n'tell.
First up are these very interesting applique blocks...
A very pretty variation on the double wedding ring block....
Applique medallions for some quilt centres.... so gorgeous, can't wait to see what will surround them.
Ever so slowly progressing, is our Dear Jane project [working from the book Dear Jane by Brenda Papadakis], which at 4 blocks per month is set to run for another couple of years. Several of us started the project, but these 3 ladies are very consistent with completing the blocks each month. One is doing the diamond version (Quilted Diamonds by Linda Franz)
And, now for some super cuteness - dollies and their beds and quilts...
Attention to detail really does take projects to a whole new level, such as the embroidery on the sewing cover, the foundation pieced Mariners Compass centre in the same shot and work on the Patchwork of the Crosses piece...
At our last 10-10 Super Saturday Sewing day, one of our members taught others how to line a cane basket with fabric, you have to agree they are really lovely.
We also had delicious eye candy with a few complete quilts
Bears Paw |
'Friendship Star' from a class run by one of our members |
Garden Trellis |
'Seasonal Changes' also from a class run by one of our members. |
'Sunbonnet Sue' a true classic |
The Egyptian Quilt is still progressing, B is slowly hand appliqueing his way around the motifs.
Here are two completed quilt tops, such bright colours, they'll certainly bring a smile...
To finish off, here is someone starting their Rotherfields Greys journey. Many of our group are making these quilts, which we hope to be able to show off during the 2nd half of 2019. It is a great exercise when we are all given the same pattern, but each person puts their own colour choice and preferred techniques into the quilt, to see what comes out.
We hope that you have enjoyed reading this blog post and the super eye candy from the pictures.
