6th November Activities

This month was scheduled as Show and Tell from the Julia Gahagan mini quilt workshop we held recently. Three participants brought in finished work that included examples of both of the techniques Julia covered with us, shadow work and foundation piecing.

Other members also brought in work for the Show and Tell.There were two lovely quilts from Raywen, one in red, white and blue made from scraps and the other, for her daughter, an adapted pattern using the backing fabric as inspiration.

Maggie brought in a cushion she had made in a Sally Holman workshop at The Knitting and Stitching show at 'Ally Pally' last month.

With the appearance of Christmas decorations in the shops it seemed like a good time to start making our own, for those of us who like that sort of project, apparently not everyone does! This time last year, Anne Baxter set a lovely project for the Young Quilters in Region 2 of QGBI. It was for a Wibbly Wobbly Christmas tree hanging. This was so much admired by our young at heart quilters, that we decided to asked her permission to use it for our group this year. She kindly agreed and also offered a Reindeer hanging pattern. We decided to make a start on them this month, as the closer you get the Christmas, the less time you may be able to find to sew.

Everyone seems to be busy with a project of some sort, not necessarily quilting but always crafty.
