Well the Blogperson was away for two weeks and people promised they would take photos, but appears they did not. But we were back at the hall today, with just a slight smell of new paint, but otherwise not much changed. Grey is still the in vogue colour it seems.
There are some lovely quilts in the pipeline at the moment. Marion still has quite a few hours of appliquing border flowers on her stunning Double Wedding Ring, Cheryl is handpiecing some pretty floral fabrics and Helen is finished the Disappearing Pinwheel Charity quilt top if she doesn't decide to change the borders around.
There were lots of books and magazines today after Kaye had a bit of a clean out and just two quilts for Show and Tell. Doreen won the Badge Draw.
Diana thought the July BomB block went together so well she decided to make a Simply Delightful quilt for herself and proceeded to cut squares out of any fabrics in her stash that had gold in them. She is very pleased with how the quilt has turned out (even though she didn't have enough fabric of either border for the binding.) It looks great and it is so good to know someone is using the techniques shown in the BomB demonstrations.
How difficult it is to try and photograph candlewicking! These are the blocks that Faye had been working on as handwork. Lynn has finished the other blocks and put the quilt together with a lovely hand quilted border for Faye's family.
This is a close-up of one of the blocks Faye had finished. She must have done them in double thread as her blocks are thicker than the ones Lynn did. It adds some nice texture to the embroidery and also means the family will always know which blocks were Faye's. A lovely memory.
