Saturday 4th May saw Kilmore Quilters start their sewing extravaganza month! Beginning with a 10-10 Super Saturday sewing session and soon to be followed by our regular monthly gatherings and the annual retreat. As per previous months, the show'n'tell once again lived up to expectations.
Aboriginal prints are often full of amazing patterns and this quilt used a large patterned piece of fabric for the centre, with the same fabric to make 'one block wonder' hexagons for the border applique.
W, completed this quilt top on the day - it is huge! Stunning with pretty pinks and purples. Pattern is by Katrina Hadjimichael.
The primary colours of this centre panel by H are for the same quilt pattern as above. Both versions look fantastic. The great thing about a few people making the same pattern is the variety of colour choices and how completely different it can look.
Here, the one of the J's is using the Pele Mele pattern from our class back in March and is adding some of her own hand-drawn designs onto the clamshells. Pele Mele is a great pattern to simply experiment with what you like as there are no rules or limitations to what you can do.
When W completed her purple quilt above, she pulled out her long term hand-sewing project - "A Star A Day" pattern. After making a star a day, it is assembled into panels before being assembled into a complete top. If you scroll through back posts on this blog, you can see how it has progressed. We are all awaiting the final completion of this quilt top with anticipation!

At the March 10-10 Super Saturday, A had brought along her foxes as a large pile of pre-cut pieces with the pattern to assemble them - here they are - ready to go to their new home. They are so cute and maybe a little bit cheeky. (Pattern by Elizabeth Hartmann)
To finish off, one of the J's made this super cute puppy for a baby to come. So cute, we all wanted one!
Who's up for more sewing this month?
