Autumn and Carrie from Crossroad Arts joined us today and told us about an upcoming project. They are seeking volunteers to quilt wall hanging sized portraits for a community art project to be showcased during the Festival of Arts. A number of our members put their hand up to help.
Brenda won the Badge Draw.
Below are the items that were displayed during our "Show and Tell" segment.
 |
| Carolyn showed her daughter's counted cross stitch piece. The stitches are so tiny so you can imagine how many had to be "counted" to complete this project. The finished article is framed and will have pride of place on Carolyn's wall. |
 |
| Cathy has made this quilt for her husband. It is made from recycled shirts and ties purchased from op shops and donated by friends. Cathy used the Quilt As You Go method of construction. |
 |
| Sue has made this paper pieced block into a cushion cover. |
 |
| This cushion cover was made in a Machine Applique and Quilting Workshop held by Mackay Sewing Centre . Both of the above cushion covers are for Sue. |
 |
| Brenda's cushion cover features a Jacobean Embroidery piece. After so much work, Brenda is keeping this for herself to enjoy. |
 |
| The pattern for the above crocheted rug comes from a book titled "A Year of Afghans" and this is the rug for June. Brenda has said that the rug will be put into her cupboard for anyone who claims it. |
 |
| Jean has made this quilt "Hot Diamonds" using Kaffe Fassett fabrics. It has been quilted by Joan and Jean is keeping this for herself. |
 |
| This is the back of Jean's quilt so you can see that it can be used with either side facing. The back was pieced using leftovers from the front and other Kaffe Fassett fabrics from Jean's stash. |
