This months meeting started with a demonstration on wavy piecing by hand. We had seen a quilt in the suitcase collection, "Whatever the Weather", we had hired from the Quilters Guild last year, that used a technique for wavy piecing. Some of our members were keen to have a demonstration for this.

Another sampler quilt with the blocks being quilted before assembly.
This quilt, based on a fan, was a kit recieved as a present. The colours are nice and bright, the maker is finding curved piecing challenging.
Lastly, a little patchwork Teddy bear about to be started.
