Jill started putting these black and white... with the odd bit of lime green, blocks together today.  Can't wait to see a bit more of this quilt.

Lyn W's handwork... you must have a fair number of these blocks now Lyn!  Another quilt I can't wait to see.

Well the Blue Gummers haven't been very prolific today but Gay in England (Gay usually joins us while she is out here) has been very busy... here are two of her recent quilts.

 And this lovely quilt for a little Grandson.

Quilt Number 1.   The #2 Competition.  

Because there were no quilts bought for the Show and Tell today at the Blue Gum, I decided I just couldn't disappoint our followers so I've searched the archives of this Blog and thought up a Guessing Competition.  What you have to do is see if you can find the owners of  the TEN old quilts I've posted this evening,  some of them go way back to 2006.  Put the number with the name of the owner into an email and send it to me privately... pennie@iinet.net.au   The prizes will astound you!!  :-)

Quilt Number 2.

 Claire has just had a move so her quilting projects got a bit of a going over, above is an old Hydrangea pattern and below a lovely Celtic pattern.  Claire also bought some fabrics she no longer needed to share out. 

Bec is working on these wonderful blocks, she has many many more but I didn't have enough table space to put them all out!  I wonder if we will see some of them put together next month!

 I just wanted to run my hands through Marilyn's Suffolk Puffs, don't they look wonderful in this box.

Dianne was working on some new blocks.

Quilt Number 3.

Quilt Number  4.

Pennie's two Hexagons... This Grandmothers Flower Garden I bought as an original 1930's top, some of the fabrics were rotted so I repaired the top and have been hand quilting it forever and ever... but not very often, which could be the reason for the delay.  In the meantime I needed some handwork for a 6 month overseas holiday so...

... I started this similar but different 1930's quilt  below, I would like it to be the same size as the one above but keep getting bored so keep adding  a different border... 

this was the only quilt at the Blue Gum today. 

Jean was under a lot of pressure today, I wanted her to finish this little block so I could take a photo of it and wouldn't let her catch her train till she had finished!!  Hurray! isn't it a real cutie! and so well matched up.

Ros got a lot of work done on this lovely Sashiko which is a pattern bought on that recent SCQuilters Retreat Shopping Spree!

Ros made these two blocks in the Lyn Hewitt class down in Kiama last weekend.

 

Quilt Number 5.

Quilt Number 6.

 My Lunch....  Spicy Cajun Soft Shell Crab Burger...   when I took the top off I found the whole Crab!  I often have soft shell crab in sushi rolls or other dishes but I've never seen the crab whole like this!   Do I have to say it was absolutely Delicious!!  It still looks it in the photo :-)  The beer battered chips were pretty darn good as well! 

I didn't take photos of any other meals, I just wanted to tuck into mine and besides the majority of us had the same!  Yummylicious...

Lyn A. is working on a new project... 

 This is it below, I love the look of the blocks in this book... one day maybe!

Another lovely day spent at the Pub!!

 Isn't this a little beauty...  In England there is one very special little Grandboy just waiting to meet Lyn W., he doesn't know he's getting  this wonderful train quilt yet!  But won't he just love it!
I love it as well :-)

Below is a quick 'I Spy' Lyn W. is giving to a friends child.

I think this quilt below is a really Funky Erica!

Dianne has finished her Bedford Quilt ... we still love the pattern of this quilt and are looking forward to Bedford's new fund raising Mystery Quilt.   Check out the Bedford Group here.

 Erica was putting the finishing touches to this little beauty!

And below Marianne showed us her Bonnie K Hunter 'Star Struck' in a different colour way from the last 'Star Struck' she made... check it out further down this blog on January 9th 2011.

 Above is an old quilt top I made about 12 years ago, it's been at the bottom of my ever growing UFO pile of tops all that time but I've almost finished it now and I'm going to give it to the very beautiful Vilma!    Vilma is Nanny to my three wonderful Grandchildren in Macao, she is Filipino and not only looks after my grandchildren beautifully she also looks after their parents just as beautifully... It wasn't till this quilt was almost finished in Liuxin's quilting machine that I noticed one of the blocks is the wrong way around!  Well if it's survived all these years without self distructing because of an error, I guess it can live plenty more  LOL

Below is my Bonnie K Hunter... Roll, Roll Cotton Boll... another UFO top to add to my pile :-)

Marilyn's wonderful Circle!   Actually I think it's about time I put my Wedge Ruler to use again! I love this quilt.

 Above is Heather's lovely soft baby quilt.


Below are Lyn A's Hexagons... they keep growing and growing in the most wonderful way don't they...

We were honoured today to have Lyn A's oldest Grandaughter with us, she was busy sewing her Softball badges onto her blanket... Sophie tells me she has 21 badges, so I've asked her to come back when she's sewn them all on so we can see the blanket finished.

Robbie making these lovely circles for her next quilt.

Marilyn and her box full of Suffolk Puffs.

 

Above... Liz with her Aussie Blocks and below two of her 10, yes that's TEN boxes of threads... only five of them are DMC threads... says Liz!!  She doesn't have much of a stash of fabric, just one awful lot of threads!

Dianne, Marianne and Kate.

Lyn A. front left, then to her right is Bec... who is often on the 'Treadmill of Torture' she tells us on Facebook... I did think this announcement was a game, but no it's for real and you have to agree Bec is looking pretty good after all that Torture!  :-)  Then Irene and Kath.

Claire and Heather.
