 Penny made this quilt for a little person who loves ducks...

 Just look at this masterpiece, we've been watching Penny sewing the Hexagons for most of the year and now she's started hand quilting it!  Wow!

 Show and Tell has been interrupted...  Big News... Kate has basted one Hexagon!  this is a record for the Blue Gum, we've never seen Kate sewing here before... Well done Kate :-)


 Munaiba is sewing some silk from a Sari on this fabric for her DH, looking forward to seeing it grow.

 These fancy pants don't belong to Rita, they are her DD's... you have to love these colour chart tights don't you...

 One of the heaviest quilts we've ever held... made for Rita's nephew out of old jeans!

 Another quilt from Rita... the front above and below the back is a series of panels... great effect eh!

 A disappearing 9 Patch of Rita's.



 Very handy and clever crochet bag made by Annie.

 Lissa made this, Bonnie K Hunter first Mystery Quilt called Carolina Crossroads... it was a couple of years ago so it's lovely to see it at last.

This is the 6th time I've made a quilt like this one... this one is for my 6th Grandchild Remy's first Birthday...  as you can read in the sashing  :-)

Lots of lovely, friendly, smiley and happy faces...
