Show, Show and Wonderful Tell.

Stephanie did a class in Thailand, great result Steph.

 You have to see and feel this Show of Virginia's to believe it! Virginia's enormous blanket is very heavy and all Hand Crocheted!!!
WOW!!

Can you believe this???  Amazing.

Selina is making the most of some left overs.

 Fabulous aren't they.

Jenn has fussy cut every little piece of these borders... true, you have to feel the quilt to realize that it is fussy cut and not just the pattern in the fabric.  What fun eh!  I'd love doing this sort of quilting... yes Jenn and I are quite mad  :-)  in the nicest possible way of course.

Marilyn has a new Grandson and another Grandchild on the way...  hence the lovely Peter Rabbit quilt.

 Jackie had a lot of terrific show and tell for us yesterday and wait till you get down to #6

Check out this lovely idea of Glynis' below.  The idea is based on the 'Confetti Quilt' click to see.

 Lissa made this quilt and forgot to stitch the pictures, they were transfers... she's stitched them now though :-)

 Lissa bought this Tent Maker Quilt below... isn't it stunning!

Joy has put together Bonnie K Hunters Mystery 'Grand Illusions'.  I made the blocks but haven't put mine together yet....  one day!!  Well done Joy.

Another lovely quilt by Jill, I do like her choice of colours!

 Check out Lynne's tiny little houses, she got this made quickly, it seems as if she was only starting this one last week. 

 Maggie flew in from America yesterday morning, she landed at 8:30am and came straight to the Pub...  while visiting her home, her mother bought out this quilt saying that she couldn't remember when she made it!  Maggie was able to inform her mother that she didn't make it Maggie did!  :-)

 We have a little Pub challenge each year. Lissa set the challenge for this year and it is... 4 Patches!  Maggie is moving to Manila for a few months so won't be here for the December Pub meeting, but she's made her challenge and here it is!

 All Japanese fabrics, it looks and feels wonderful!

Nice to see Ros this month, and her beaut show.

Liz was wearing this amazing black lace jacket, I just had to have a photo of it... 

I made this little quilt a few years ago... Michelle took a liking to it so I gave it to her!

Pennie's Mini New York Beauty.

What a prefect day it was at the Pub last Saturday. I took 70 photos and one little Movie, there is one Show and Tell that has nothing to do with quilting, knitting, stitching or crocket but something I seriously needed to search Wiki for... oh and there is a little story as well. Enjoy Everyone.

 The Competition this month was - 'Who can pull the funniest Face!'
Lissa is trying hard, above but Irene on the right,  has no chance for a Gold Star this time.

 Both Maggie and Michelle are in there with a chance for the Gold Star!

 Marianne and Gillian had two go's but sorry girls you aren't even trying, you both look far too happy!

I'm loving the streaks Annie and Stephanie but neither of you are in the Funny Face Competition.

Glynis and Cath haven't got funny faces either.

 I decided to try on either side of Rita... but no we aren't in with a chance either are we!

 Here's another two who aren't trying to win this months 'Funny Face' competition, Penny and Virginia.

Nor are the three lovely ladies below... Sarah, Heather and Marilyn.

The Winner of the Funny Face Competition and the winner of this month's Gold Star... is Lynne!  Great Job Lynne and good try Liz but Lynne will be receiving this months Gold Star.

Make sure you bring it back to the Pub next month Lynne  :-)

Food, food and more food with a little story as well.

Yum and Yum!

And Yum and Yum!

And Yummy Pizza.

 SCQuilters at the Blue Gum Pub - Story #241!

Now here's the story, I don't know quite how to take this tale but I'm taking it in good spirits... okay!

Well!  I know that I am a very boring person, I don't drink Alcohol, I don't even drink Tea or Coffee and very rarely do I drink a Hot Chocolate...  I do like Water, I do like Shape Milk and I do drink the odd Diet Coke but only out of a can or a bottle, never out of those machine things.  So what do I drink when I go to the Pub for a fun day eh!

Well, I usually start off with half lemonade and half soda water -  oh did I tell you... I don't like too sweet either.  Then in the afternoon I usually have half a lemon squash and half soda water, I like to mix it up you know.

Well last Saturday afternoon at the Pub,  Lissa kindly offered to buy me a drink so I asked her if she could get me Half Lemon Squash and Half Soda Water, off she went and ordered me a half lemonade, half soda water... the girl behind the bar, and there are many it's not the same girl every month... said... 'Is that for one of the group up in the quilting room?'   'Yes.' said Lissa, to which the Bar Girl said,  'She usually orders a half Lemon Squash half Soda Water.'  Lissa had to agree with her,  'Yes that's what she asked for!' she said.

Now does this mean I'm so weird and boring that all the girls who work at the Blue Gum Pub know just how weird I am?  But there again it's rather lovely that those young women remember me... the only thing is... I didn't realize that I always had the half lemonade in the morning and half lemon squash in the afternoon... I know I don't usually have two of one of these drinks on the same day, so maybe the Bar Girl remembered that I had already enjoyed the half Lemonade!

That's the Story, aren't you glad you scrolled all the way down here for it eh?  LOL!

Now here is a very special Show, Show... Show and Tell bought to you by our newest Pub mate... Virginia! What fun it was.

 It looks a little weird so what does it actually do?

 The Pub goers are fascinated... watch in the little movie below.

This little machine makes Beanies!   don't they look warm and cozy.

Handwork, lots of different, fascinating things going on this month.

Irene was knitting a scarf using some of her old wool... we wondered just how old this wool must have been.

Lissa finished off another couple of Pies and Tarts.

Heather working on one more of these blocks, this one looks like the children are playing Hide and Seek.

Liz won the most prolific hand worker this month. She's finished this masterpiece above.

Now she's working on a little cat.

Here she is wearing a jumper Lynne made for her.

Below are just some of her threads.  These are the Blues!

But wait... there's more.

Look at this new piece below!  You win hands down Lizzie.

Lynne has almost finished her sweet little bird.... actually I'll bet it's finished by the time this post goes up on the Blog!

Love Love Love Maggie's Hexagons.  She bought the fabric and the papers already pre-cut.  Now I know I've said many times that I am not going to make any more hexie quilts... but...  but...  Mmmmmm...  These look so yummy!

Marianne knitting herself something warm.

Marilyn is making these very pretty hexagons, I wonder who this quilt will be for?

Michelle was knitting her third pair of socks, she tells me she is going to keep these ones and I've just seen a post on FaceBook of her feet clad in these beautiful warm darlings.

Me, me, me... I'm really enjoying getting back to knitting Fair Isle but it's not something one can knit  while chatting, taking photos, and enjoying lunch!  So I bought along a daggy square to knit at the Pub instead.

Penny got another of her beaut Lucy Boston blocks together.

Rita was cutting up lots of scraps for further use.

 Annie is numbering her crochet squares so she can put them together in a similar way position as the picture below.

 I looked at this photo closely to see where the same blocks are placed and ... it's very random so no wonder Annie needs to number her blocks.

Zig Zag Crochet by Ruth.

Lots of hand quilting going on in Sarah's quilt.

Stephanie is knitting her cardigan in one piece, I love knitting like this but it is one big lot of stitches on the needle at once.  Looking forward to seeing this one finished Stephanie.

 Gillian was cutting out these little curved squares and going to make the quilt pictured. 

BTW Gillian, you dropped one square on the floor but I bought it home with me so have no fear I will give it to you next time I see you :-)

Yummy wool being used by a newbie to the Pub.  Welcome Virginia.  I hope you come back next month.
