18 brave ladies made their way to the Northern Beaches Community Hall this morning - the weather would have been great if we were ducks!!  At times we were wondering if we would have to bunker down in the hall.  The rain eased off after Marion made her way out to her car to get her umbrella - typical!

Luckily the rain did ease off - we were able to have our Show and Tell and actually hear what the ladies had to say about their completed projects.

Marlena used a charm pack to make the Disappearing 9 Patch quilt above.

Marlena is hiding behind this Falling Charms quilt.

 The Double Pinwheel quilt above was made from a BOMB (block of the month) from 2015.  As usual, you normally do not get enough blocks to make the sized quilt you are after, so Marlena added applique blocks and I'm sure you will agree that they look as if they were made for each other right from the beginning.

Marlena has made the above 3 quilts for a friend to raffle to raise funds for women in need of legal services..

Marlena has made this quilt for a 93 year old friend.  The Pineapple Blocks were made using a Pineapple Ruler, which apparently makes pieces that fit together perfectly!!  Marlena said that she has enough left over to make another quilt.

The pillow slip above is to accompany the Pineapple Block quilt.

Gerrie has made the above table runner using scraps from her stash.  This was made so that she could learn the technique of Foundation Piecing.  This table runner will appear in Gerrie's home as she has decided that it is hers to keep!
