Since our usual hall was now open Covid secure for socially distanced get togethers, we decided to test the water. There was a small but significant number of members who missed their monthly quilty fix, so we invited members to a meeting. The invite specified no speaker, no raffle, no refreshments but bring your show and tell. There were seven of us, and we had a lovely time!
I took some Linus rummage, and everyone had a chance for a bargain.
Then the fun began! The hall was quite echoey with such a small number of people, but sometimes fewer people can be even nicer than lots of people, and this was the case.
Lesley had used a jelly roll to make two quilts. It’s from a Pam and Nicky Lintott pattern. Both versions look great.
This is another jelly roll quilt made from an ombré jelly roll. This pattern is perfect for this kind of fabric.
Janet had had fun with this cute deer cushion. It is beautifully quilted.
This cherry blossom quilt had foundation pieced large flowers and appliqued small ones. Janet quilted it with rulers in an apple core design.
What a useful pocketed bag! I love the different fabrics in the same colour way!
A clever motif for a bag.
A clever motif for a cushion!
Ann has been attending some virtual workshops and retreats, and made several small quilts. This is my favourite one - you can’t go wrong with lime green!
We then had more quilty chat, EPP, sewing machines, walking feet etc and then a demonstration of the Accuquilt cutter. We felt quite energised when we left and are planning another meeting in November. Why not join us?
