Katharine Guerrier

Hi It was a new venture for Piecemakers to have a meeting in August, but since it had been requested at the AGM, we decided to give it a try.  Unfortunately I couldn't make it, but I heard that not only was it well attended, but thoroughly enjoyable!  I think the fact that the speaker was Katharine Guerrier must have affected this, and i'm just sorry I missed it.  Katharine originally attended Camberwell College of Art, so has an artist's eye, which is very evident in her fabulous use of colour. 

This log cabin 9-patch shows great colour mastery. 

And this HST quilt is just fabulous. 

Katharine is very much known for her scrap quilts.  This is a great example. 

Here are some more.  I think her use of batiks adds to the jewel like quality. 

She has also designed various lovely foundation pieced designs.  These are seaside ones made into a wall hanging. . 

Here the designs have been made into a small quilt.  The boats really seem to be sailing on that swirling sea! 

The recent warm weather, summer holidays and gardening season made for only a few items for show and tell.  Here is a Bonnie Hunter design, Easy Street, looking stunning. The colours are beautiful. 

A capacious bag displayed by Beverley. 

An embroidered cushion displayed by Vicki. 

This is meticulous piecing and masterful quilting. 

And lastly, a baby quilt for a little girl (no doubt!) with matching cube, Lovely. 

Please remember that our exhibition is coming up in October.  Make sure you have given Ruth your yellow form detailing which items you would like to show.  Also, we would like game made items for the tombola.  This can be anything from a pincushion to a tote bag, a coaster to a table runner.  Please try to make a couple of items for this popular fund raiser. See you in September!
