| Cathy made the above quilt using the Storm at Sea block. It was made using foundation paper piecing and will be given to Cathy's Granddaughter. |
 |
| The backing was made using fabric that Cathy had bought to use in the quilt's border but she changed her mind as it would have been too busy. I think we will agree that she made the correct decision. |
 |
| Marion has made the above quilt which is a Dawn Johnston design. The blocks consist of native flowers which have been machine embroidered. This was made using the Quilt As You Go technique with lace sewn over the seams. This was made for Marion's dining room table. |
 |

The backing is shown below. The fabric is by Kaffe Fassett and Deane purchased this from a patchwork shop in Bunbury WA - one of her many favourite haunts. |
 |
| These coil baskets are the end result of Sue's first attempt at this technique. Sue has used 5mm rope inside the strips of fabric. I think we can all agree that she seems to have mastered this technique on her first attempt. |
 |
| The 2 photos above show the Christmas stocking that Vivian made for her granddaughter. It features an "A" monogram embroidered on the front and silk ribbon embroidery on the back. A very impressive stocking. |
 |
| In 1995 Lesley won blocks at the Moranbah Show & Tell. No, she hasn't taken that long to complete it! She cannot remember when she actually put it together and she only brought it to show today because she was talking about it the week before and a number of ladies could remember her winning the blocks but couldn't remember seeing the finished article. |
 |
| The backing also looks impressive. |
 |
| Anne has made the above dresses for her granddaughter who had grown out of her favourite purchased dress. She gave the old dress to Anne so that she could make a pattern from it so that the finished article would be the same. Anne is confident that she has nailed it! |

 |
| 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. |
 |
