We had our once a month get together again. The quilts are getting out of hand, 2 on the go and we are still finding more we want to do, or I should say the one that picks the quilts No Names, is getting ahead and we are following along quite happily. Evol also has a few to quilt.

 Ruth called in for a chat and cupper. She had her Dear Jane quilt all finish and ready to show us. It's just beautiful. Ruth started this quilt when Bev & I had the shop. I also started a Dear Jane quilt but my is still in little bits in a box waiting for me to get back to it. I think it will be a while before I get to that box. But Ruth's quilt has inspired me again

 This happy little quilt belongs to Laurene. She made it for her new grandson Bede (pronounced bead).


I have been teaching the Cactus Flower table runner at Peter Taylor's. This is one of Judy Niemeyer patterns. A foundation paper piecing method. The girls are all keen to stat the next class on one of  Judy's patterns. Our next class will be the Stepping Stone quilt.

 Lorraine and Bonnie with there quilt tops. Next week we will be quilting the tops

 Daph with her quilt top. The soft pinks and blues are very pretty.


The last few days I have been really busy quilting. In May I will be having my own quilt exhibition at the local art gallery. So I have been working like a mad woman finishing what I had in the pile at the end of my sewing table.

I made these little quilts for samples to have in my quilting classes. I got the idea from a workshop a done with Jenny Bowker. Incorporating the fabric design out into the quilting pattern

 

 

 See!!!! A wonderful empty table. Pity it won't stay that way for long, I have lots of UFO's in the cupboard dying to come out and see the light of day. You open the door and there all lining up screaming pick me, no pick me, please pick me.

 Well I suppose it's time I face the music and find one to start on.
