Wednesday 2nd September 2015 - part Two

Wyn has a been helping her cousin Helen,to teach sewing at Beacon hills College, and these bags are the result. Aren’t they cute? and so pretty.

Looks like Jo’s quilt block has decided to follow Pooh – but just take a look and you will see how beautiful it is. It is from a BOM by Irene Black and is just stunning – love the colours.

Robyn is working on this cute Gail Pan stitchery. Don’t you just love Gail’s little birds?

 Deidre had dug out this UFO from 1990 to finally finish, and isn’t it beautiful. Such great work during your recovery from surgery. So glad you are back and looking so well and happy – but your wedding on the 6th of September may have had something to do with that too xxx

I am not sure who the lovely sewing machine stitchery belongs to Louise? Laurel? Ramona? Marona? It is a lovey stitchery anyway.

Laurel his working on “Miss Matty’s Parlour” by Megan Carroll, in beautiful fussy cut fabric.

Here is a simply spectacular little baby cardy for Sandra’s new grandson – don’t you love the colours? Congratulations on your newest grandchild Sandra!!!

Here, Fiona is working on the beautiful quilt “Green Tea and Beans”. It is looking so lovely and the colours are just fabulous.

Now Kate brought a well loved tapestry – the one she brings when she just wants to sit and chat. She did however do two stitches and we look forward to seeing it completed some time in the next decade, or two.

Dianne G was inspired, after seeing some of our UFO work, to bring out a 10 year old one of hers. It was made in the Karella Road shop in Frankston and is called “Pretty in Pink” – and it is!

Here are some of the blocks we presented to a surprised Deidre – with more to come – so she can make a memento of her wedding which was held the following weekend. Huge congratulations to Deidre and Geoffrey and all our love and good wishes for a happy future together.

Sorry for those of you who were at the retreat, but I only thought it fair to bring along my winning “What would a quilter wear in 1915” costume. The apron and veil are made up of 3 inch squares in various white fabrics, and for the cape, I adjusted a Christmas tree skirt pattern, lined with poppy fabric. The instruments are a sample of what myself and my assistants Dr Kathryn  and the notorious Ngaire used on our “patients” – the enema and the amputations being the most popular, although the VD case proved a hit as well. Thank you to Rosalie Quinlan for the lovely range of her fabric that I was lucky enough to win.

Wednesday 2nd september 2015 - part One

Our first meeting for Spring 2015 was a wonderful get together with a great deal of chat, laughter, enjoying our morning tea and some occasional stitching. Many of us, who had been to the Canberra retreat (well me!) actually did more than the one stitch achieved at the retreat. Many of you sowed a great deal of interest in our 2016 Retreat, I will add details about it at the end of this, what is laughingly called a report of our day – some of it may be accurate! Don’t forget to click on the photos to enlarge them and get a proper look at some fabulous show and tell.

These lovely appliqued blocks are the work of Bar, who has made them in an on going machine applique class at The Sewing Connection at Pakenham. The class introduced Bar to many different methods and different stitches that can be used in machine applique. Such beautiful fabrics too.

 Here is a beautiful stitchery from Melody. It is to be surrounded by a Dresden plates and is part of a a BOM from Rosalie Quinlan.

 Bev has caught the hexagon bug! She was asked to take over the work of someone who has gone to that great Quilting Bee in the sky, and had never done them before – is anyone surprised that she is now addicted?

Marita has been perfecting her foundation piecing skills and I think that those that live in the Hundred acre wood and beyond would agree that she has succeeded admirably with Tigger, Pooh Bear (the photo is right way up, but you know Pooh – jumping around at the last minute!) and Christopher Robin himself.  The patterns come for free on a site called Fandom or something like that.

Jan  - just back from Malta and Italy and looking fabulous (that’s Simone in the background- she also looks fabulous), was after advice for her Christmas Tree Wall hanging. I think she went home with plenty of ideas.

Wyn brought along this pillow case she had made (one of many for Quilts of Valour. The  pattern is available on U tube and is called "Sausage pillow case". The fabric with the Aussie flags on it is from Spotlight - who kindly donated $100 in vouchers to the Quilts of Valour group - there will be a working bee on the last Saturday in October - more on that later.
