In September, we held our first indoor meeting and it was a huge success! Everyone who came 29 people) felt very safe, and what is more to the point, had a great time.
People enjoyed getting together, and lots of people had a go at the EPP diamonds project.
Hexagons are a common EPP project, but diamonds were new to lots of us.
One of Lynda’s lockdown projects was to use the diamonds to make a quilt, but most people were happy to make a small mat!
Show and tell was excellent, and it was clear that some people had used lockdown to finish off UFOs - way to go! Here is one of the Piecemakers strippy quilts put together in an imaginative way.
Great use of drunkards path blocks.
Some four season churn dash blocks from a Mary Mayne workshop.
This is a Cowslip designs pattern, but the maker got a bit ‘daisied out’ so did her own thing in the border.
Vicky made this fabulous quilt for her grandson. Shows what happens when you give a young person the chance to choose their own pattern!
Here is another ‘Hope Stars’ quilt. I love the batik border.
Another BOM quilt, with a dark background. Stunning.
One member was so disappointed not to do Jenny Raiments ‘Scrappy, sappy do’ workshop, that she bought the pattern and made it herself!
A great use of toning fabrics.
Another BOM, this time in a 9-patch arrangement.
Here is another Piecemakers strippy quilt, our of the drawer and finished!
This is a beautifully balanced medallion quilt. I love the yellow and blue.
Gaynor has been working on the EPP apple care quilt for quite a while, and was both delighted and relieved to finally finish it!
This quilt is a surprisingly simple design which looks fabulous due to fabric selection.
Our next meeting will be the AGM and 21st birthday party, complete with games and cake! See you there!
