27 November 2019

31 ladies braved the warmer weather to meet with their crafty friends this morning.  A reminder that we will be meeting in the air-conditioned comfort of the Women's Centre on Thursday the 12th and 19th of December and then back to Wednesday from January 8.  We are back in the Northern Beaches Community hall - with no air-conditioning - after school ressumes.

Show and Tell items for today are:

Elizabeth was asked by her daughter-in-law to make bags for grandsons to carry their Jiu Jitsu clothing to their sessions.  Initials were placed on the back so that the mother puts the right stuff into the right bag!


Diana made this blanket for her Niece's family's pet bulldog, Archie.  It was made using three pairs of her husband's unwanted denim shorts.  Just wanting to see whether Archie has a chew on it. 


Gerri made the above bags to give away as Christmas gifts.  They were made in a 3 day sewing get together. 


Diane made the above clutch bags using three 10 inch squares.  They are for whoever shows a need or desire for them. 


Anne made the table runner and placement for her 93 year old Mother-in-law for Christmas. 


Del made the above queen size quilt based on the French braid pattern "Shadows in the City".  She made this on the recent Eungella retreat and was quilted by Di Hope.  Del is keeping this for herself. 

Joan made the above quilt during this year's Eungella retreat using an Owl panel purchased from Howard Drapery.  She also purchased 3 co-ordinating fabrics that belonged to the same range.  This quilt is waiting for someone who wants it.  Joan designed the quilt.
 

This King size quilt was made using Tilda Bird Pond range purchased from Bayside Stitch Craft.  Joan was inspired by a quilt she saw on Pinterest and then had to make the pattern for herself.  This quilt has been sold to some-one who loved the "old style" fabrics.

Marlena made the above quilt titled "54 - 40 or Fight" She was ready to fight after she realised that she had made a mistake and had to redo 120 triangles.  This was started in the Eungella retreat - which begs the question - what was happening up there that lead to the mistake??  The quilt is now living in a cupboard waiting for a King size bed.
