Show-n-Tell
As an active group our members always have something interesting to show us at each meeting.
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. |
|
Barbara K made a needle case. |
|
Other items bought in this week were this ‘Seaside’ quilt made by Ann P. |
 And this lovely tote bag made by Amanda. |
|
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! |
|
Anne W made this Cathedral Window wall hanging. |
 This week we welcomed once again Isaac and Oscar, our young guests, who showed us what they had been making. This cushion cover was made by Isaac. |
 And these were made by Oscar, one at home and one at school. Both boys use a sewing machine to sew the long seams, with hand stitching on the felt one. |
 |
|
Angie made up this pretty small quilt, fussy cutting the blocks, quilting them then joining them together with sashing. |
 Judy bought along the second quilt she made up from the Christmas blocks. |
|
Margaret is keen to use up her scraps so made up this useful tote bag. |
