1 March 2025 @ The Blue Gum Hotel

We had quite a bit of show and tell today for the 6 ladies at our get together.

Show and Tell

These are some very colourful laundry bags completed by Rita for the 'Aussie Hero' project.

These are 4 completed quilts for charity completed by Rita.

This quilt with 'wolf' fabric in some of the tumbler shapes was made by Rita and claimed by one of her sisters as the name Wolf is significant to the family.

This top by Rita will be quilted and then raffled for charity when it is completed. Sorry Rita don't remember which charity!

Marilyn was finishing a crochet edge on this beautiful knitted shawl.  

Glynis's completed quilt with hand applique and waste triangles kindly donated to her by a friend.

Saturday 1 April 2023 - Blue Gum Hotel

 It was a perfect day to sit and sew/crochet. The sky was grey and there were heavy downpours of rain. Much chatting and admiring of Emma's yarn which unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of.

Cath had four quilts to share with us and she was very busy binding.

This is the first of Cath's quilts; it's a Sarah Fielke design all in Tula Pink Fabrics.

Number 2 - This was a delightful quilt which we all admired. It's called Balderdash by Emma Jean Jansen.

Number 3 - Can't remember what this one was called but it was great. Was a kit bought in Launceston some time ago and put together a bit differently than the original pattern suggested.

Number 4 - This one looked great too. It had ships in the strips.

Last was an eye-spy quilt from Rita for a young relative (I think) in Melbourne.

Here are a couple of close ups of the fabrics:

Perhaps we'll see you next time.

It was a very pleasant day with 6 of us chatting away merrily.

Show and Tell

Rita made this cute quilt for a niece.

Stephanie is working on her pretty pink wrap.

Close up of her stitching and hexagon embellishment.

A collection of really great bags Cath has made.

Scrap top by Glynis - still deciding if it needs more borders or not.

Detail of the panel.

Does that fabric look familiar; do you have some of these scraps too!

Denim quilt by Glynis. I learned some lessons with this one.

The different squares gives you a chance to try out some different quilting motifs.

See you next time!

Many Thanks to Mimmie Em today for taking all these beautiful photos for us to enjoy on our blog.
