Show-n-Tell
As an active group our members always have something interesting to show us at each meeting.
Busy people this week after a break for the bank holiday.  Ann P has been making bumblebees for the Honeypot charity. |
 Barbara K made this lovely waistcoat for her great grandson. |
|
Judy E made this lap quilt using more of her stash of blue. This time she quilted it using various stitches available on her machine and variegated thread. She said she enjoyed doing it and it does make for a more interesting pattern. |
|
Sara made this pen holder that fits over a diary or notebook, maybe a useful addition to Christmas stockings later! |
|
This Cathedral window sewing needle holder was made by Mary, along with this lovely quilted jacket with it’s stunning cockerel appliqué. |

 This sea scape quilt was made by Yvonne. It was quilted with a very effective wave design. |
The theme for this week’s meeting was Cathedral Window. Wendy led a workshop on how to make the blocks and other members brought in examples of ones they had made previously.  Judy V made this attractive cushion cover. |
 While Sara made this pin cushion and a glasses case, showing the usefulness of this attractive design. |

Other items bought in this week were this ‘Seaside’ quilt made by Ann P. |

Sue has been busy making tote bags and covered notebooks for the Honeypot charity. These will join the other 30+ that she has made over the last few months and will be given to the children filled with mementoes of their stay at the charity’s house in the forest. |
|
This week we had a very interesting exhibition of work by two members, Judy E and Margaret W. Here are some of quilts they brought in for us to see. One of the largest on display was this one made by Judy. Each block features a ‘vegetable cat’! |
 Others included this memory quilt, on the left, using material Judy bought in Amsterdam whilst on holiday. The second was a challenge to use up some of her blue material. |
|
This one each block features a different cat, all made individually and joined by hand. |
 And this was made from some of Judy’s late husband’s shirts. He had enough for her to make five of these altogether for family members. |
|
Margaret brought in this, one of the first ones she made, a sample of what was to come. |
|
This one was a kit bought at an exhibition, her first time at foundation piecing and quite a challenge. |
|
Using some of her stash Margaret made this lovely flower quilt. |
 |
 Other quilts on show this week were this one made by Jill T. Based on a design from the book Crumb Quilts by Emily Bailey it’s Jill’s version of Blowing in the Wind. |
|
Ros made this quilt using material chosen by her grandson. |
|
We welcomed Amanda to our group this week, she brought with her a lovely double sized quilt she had made. Starting off with a panel she said it seemed to just keep growing! |
