A few showers today to make it awesome sewing weather. Elaine was selling items for an old friend clearing her sewing room and there were some happy shoppers with everything from fabric to wood burners to gollywog patterns. Di has been left with the Badge Draw organisation with Helen off to Asia and couldn't find the winning ticket owner today. Turned out it was Di herself.
Only one more week at the hall for Show and Tell so everyone had better get those last stitches in their projects or they won't be seen until 2018! Just where has this year gone?
Di asked a little girl what her favourite colour was. She will love this quilt - as long as she knows her colours and pink really is her favourite! Flo has used this pattern before and it certainly makes a very effective I-Spy quilt.
Delma found this pattern in a magazine last week and thought that the embroidery would make a cute little Christmas hanging. And here it is finished and bound this week. Well done Delma.
Delma made this quilt for Rachel who has been particularly kind to her son during his recent illness. Delma didn't need a pattern but worked it out from a picture in a magazine. Each flower is made by sewing tiny snowballs onto four squares.
And Delma is very proud to have completely quilted a whole quilt with her Westalee rulers. (The photographer apologises for not taking a close-up picture.)
Di has quilted this enormous quilt for her friend Pamela who has an extremely large antique bed. Pamela is mad about dragonflies and Di painted the centre panel to match a picture Pamela has. Pamela made the quilt to fit the bed, but Di did some rearranging of the blocks and borders before she was happy enough to quilt it - with dragonflies, of course.
Barbro has finally got to make up a pattern of Jan's that she had admired. The background and the backing fabrics are new, but the little maze shapes are all from scraps in Barbro's colourful stash.
Two of our BomB quilts made from Japanese fabrics from Heather's stash. Named Simply Delighful and Japanese Crosses, they are all quilted, labelled and bound now. We are so pleased with how these turned out, we are considering using them as raffle quilts next year.

(Yes, the BomB Lady has resigned, going on indefinite leave travelling next year. BomB Lady position vacant. See Delma if interested.)
