Despite the extremely hot weather, our group members were not deterred from their crafts! This month there is an huge amount of show'n'tell. Not many words - but lots and lots of eye candy! Enjoy scrolling through these beautiful pictures.

I believe these brightly coloured blocks are from a block of the month, where you receive the stitchery and instructions for the 'sun rays'. This is a very pretty quilt.
Another, very pretty quilt is this one with the orange flowers.
A trip around the world block. This is one of many and we have been seeing them in progress over the past few months.
A 'rose window' applique.
Who doesn't love a curved log cabin? The piecing in this is fantastic as is the colour play.
Now we move onto Scrappy Quilts, starting with this post and rail variation
to be followed by hexagons. If you think back some 12 months or so ago, this box was very, very full of hexagons. Slowly, but surely they are being pieced into 'flowers' and put into a top.
Here is a detail picture of K's srappy quilt. She takes all our strips and strings that we would normally discard and turns them into fantastic quilts for charity.
The full quilt is a riot of log cabin blocks with wonky stars thrown in for good measure.
A more planned and controlled scrappy quilt is this very modern looking sampler.
More hexagons... and some hexagons with stars...
And not be missed, a medallion quilt or two...

Started with a gifted panel, W, adapted a pattern to make it fit and to really show off the panel.

To finish off, some paper pieced tumbling blocks.
That's it for this month, try to stay cool and see you next month! Happy sewing.
