It was lovely to see a large gathering of our members this week, especially as the weeks ahead are going to be a busy time for the club. Brenda and Dal have been busy collecting quilts and organising items for display for the annual Greenmount Heritage Day on Sunday 28th May, do pop in and view our display in little building to the left of the homestead.
Talented fabric artist, Caroline Sharkey will be sharing her unique style at our workshop on the 26-27th May. Really looking forward to seeing the outcome from this workshop.
Just a reminder to fellow quilters, show entries close on the 9th June. Quilts can be delivered later.
Delma purchased this Amish Quilt in America, the entire quilt has been done by hand except the binding. The backing of the quilt has been wrapped to the front to form the binding. If you are at Greenmount this weekend be sure to check out this quilt.
Faye is one of our traditional quilters, this scrappy quilt has been pieced and quilted by hand. Faye said she is using up her bits and pieces. Well done this iddy bitty quilt looks great.
Cheryl thought she would use up her stash of batic fabric with this quilt. Hmm!!! No such luck, Cheryl said there was still lots of fabric left over.
Yoke with the guidance of Joan Flack has completed her first machine pieced quilt. However Yoke reverted to tradition and finished her quilt with hand quilting. Looks amazing Yoke.
Marilyn has finally completed her sampler quilt, Maz thinks she started her sample blocks about 15 or so years ago, some of her fabrics where purchased from The Quilters Lanton which closed many years ago. The samples where thrown in the cupboard and only brought out to be completed when Joan conducted a beginners course at the club last year.
Iris was the lucky recipient of this beautiful cushion for her 80th birthday, all hand embroided by her neighbour who is also well into her 80's. I'm sure Iris has just the right spot at home to show off this wonderful gift.
