The above quilt is using the Sea Glass pattern.  Robyn made the quilt using blue and green fabric from her stash and she will be giving it to her sister-in-law.

24 ladies gathered in the hall this morning and we were all appreciative of the weather conditions that were more suited to our crafty activities. Marilyn was the lucky winner of our monthly raffle and Elizabeth won this week's badge draw.  Congratulations ladies.

The photographs below show this week's "Show and Tell" items.

Elaine has made this game which is based on the same principles as Snakes and Ladders but using Construction
Equipment instead.  Machine embroidery is used throughout.

The piece above was made in a Jane Grove, Machine Embroidery workshop held in Clermont.  The workshop was titled "Outback Sewing".  Elaine was very pleased with the workshop as not only did she come away with the piece above, but she also bought her dress in a local shop.

This Native Flowers table runner uses machine embroidery and Elaine used rulers for her quilting.

Anne has made the above casserole carrier for her daughter-in-law.  The above project introduced Anne to a number of techniques that she had never had to tackle before - free style quilting, internal corners and joining different pieces to make the binding.  Anne discovered that Google is a pretty good teacher. 

Kaye has made the above quilt "Happy Scrappy" to be given to Carlyle Gardens as a cent sale prize in their efforts to raise money for RACQ Rescue

Kaye has made the "I Spy" quilt above to be given to the Women's Centre.  It is sure to make a child very happy.
