Neither Lesley nor Di were available last week to do the blog. So here are some backdated photographs. Any details of the quilts or items incorrectly communicated can be addressed by emailing the blogperson. (You know who she is!)
Di made this Bargello for her brother's 50th in August. He lives in Ballarat, Vic so she used wool wadding and a polar fleece backing for warmth.
Another quilt finished by Beth. This one uses rectangles as the feature in the blocks. The tiny sashing strips in and between the blocks give it a very geometric feel.
After working on this quilt for 8 years interupted by eye operations and trips away and other busyness, Deane has completed her Wildflower quilt. It was a Val Moore pattern called Australian Wildflowers. It is completely hand stitched including the needleturn applique,the embroidery details, the bias strips, the hand quilting and the binding. Truly a work of love and perserverence.

Marlena bought these wooden spools some time ago and they have proved to be what she calls "a waster of time". Very cute though you have to admit.
After Joke's initial foray into blackwork, she thought she could get a little more advanced and searched the internet for a pattern not realising that the one she liked was very fine aida cloth and one thread work. But she practiced on another piece first, and when she had the pattern down pat, she sewed the real thing. Well done Joke.
Barbara is always bringing some style of embroidery to sew, so she made herself this roll to carry her blocks. It matches the wonderful bag she made earlier.

The back / front of Del's purse. I'm hoping this was a purchased kit and Del wasn't silly enough to cut out all thoses little hexagons herself.
