October Gatherings

This month has certainly shown that there is diversity within our group!  Looking through the eye candy below, one can see a small snippet of the wide variety of things people work on....

B has begun foundation piecing many, many Noah's Ark blocks...

D has recently purchased a long arm quilting machine and said "I just decided to have a go!"  WOW!  This is her first practice piece!!


In between times, D is hand-piecing these gorgeous little cranes...

J is making hexagons to surround an embroidered centre.


K has made this quilt using up all of her bits of blue left over pieces.  She has designed this to be a modern quilt.

It was completed using Quilt As You Go quilting which K stitched with her walking foot, thus quilting each block individually.  It's truly stunning.



Oh dear, this picture is sideways - not sure why that happened - but M is making a vase of roses from left over pieces of curtain fabric, which are made in the log cabin style and have some lovely free-motion stitching on them.

The other M has stated a new project with new fabric - ooohhhh ...


S has hand-knitted these dresses to fit Barbie Dolls and they are divine.

The same S has also been working quite diligently for some time now on hexagons.  She says that the assembled part is now wide enough, it needs to grow some more to become long enough.




Our newest member, S, has pulled out a 20 year old cross-stitch project and is keen to keep progressing on it as her grand-daughter has requested it when done.  A beautiful gift for sure.


V has been using english paper piecing for this mini-quilt.  I think it's about 12in square with all of those bits in it...

And to finish off this month, W, is hand appliqueing a block from the quilt "Celebrating Mary Brown".
