Autumn has finally arrived. We enjoyed a cool day today and although there was some early morning drizzle the day turned out to be quite pleasant. Lesley will be away enjoying their caravan trip for the next few weeks, the blog is in my hands for the time being, so after some time spent working out how to log in as my new PC had to be "recognised" here we go.
Finally done, an extra quilt top completed for a club project has been patiently waiting to be quilted since 2004. Lesley even found the matching fabric for the binding stored safely at her home. The committee have decided to hold a Silent Auction closing on the 28th May at 3.30pm. Anyone interested in placing a bid can contact Del or Brenda. The quilt will be on display at Greenmount Heritage Fair on Sunday 28th May.
How to use a pack of fat quarters when they are not quite your colours, hmmm!!! After seeing Deane's Drunkards Path quilt from Chris Timmins' workshop, I had a light bulb moment, yes there was enough material to make something similar. Thank you Deane and Chris, I think the quilt has turned out quite well and have decided it will suit our van. I then custom quilted using my rulers for the first time.
Marlena has been working on this quilt since last October, she estimates there is at least 600 hours of needleturn work. One of Faye Cole's projects she had started but didn't quite like. Marlena has done her proud and the quilt has come together beautifully, I'm sure Faye is looking down and smiling.
Liz has been busy again, finishing another snuggly handmade and hand quilted quilt to be donated to the women's centre. Well done Liz.
