A very nice lady called Sara P contacted us to ask if we would be interested in taking on some of her mothers fabric stash and equipment, as she was no longer able to quilt. As quilters we all like a rummage, so Sara brought along some fabric and haberdashery for which we are very grateful. I hope to see some projects from the fabrics at future meetings. Thank you to Sara and her mum.
This month our BOM theme was bugs. We had three applique patterns to work from, ladybird, bee and dragonflies. These could be hand or machined sewn. The examples were all machine sewn. Instructions.
Work went underway choosing fabric and cutting out shapes. There more members working on them than pictures taken.
We also had some finished blocks from previous meetings, showing some lovely quilts in the making.

As you may have noticed some of the blocks have been added by participants because they liked them and it fitted the theme.

Lastly here are two quilts made or finished by MW for Linus. These shirting fabric squares and purple blocks were from other quilters who, for whatever reason, never got round to finishing them.
