A quilt layout was decided.... and does anyone have a HAMMER???

As we posted a couple of days ago HERE  Debra was trying to choose a layout for her layer cake quilt.  We had 3 choices "diagonals, chevrons or circles" however as Debra didn't love any of them she moved all the pieces around again and here is the sewn result.

Giant Diamond with a 'ripple effect"

(Yes I know there is a block in upside down, I will unpick that on another day)

 Leanne was making cushions for her daughter to use at her job in the Daycare Centre and required a hammer.  We asked the room "does anyone have a hammer with them?"  Can you believe that no one did??? shock of all horrors, what do you use when you cant find a hammer?????

Bricks of course

 

And a group shot with a  few more of us in it.  L-R: Olivia, Lynn, Liz (front), Debra, Gayle (Front) Tracey & Leanne.

See everyone next week.

National Polka Dot Day.....Did you go Dotty??

    .........so while some came dressed up in spots, Miss K, others brought spots in other forms such as fabric, bags, hair accessories and even in paper craft.  We had a few more roll in on Tuesday for craft night so the room was full of chatter as we had some new people come in back from their holidays all refreshed and ready to go. 

Here we have Ms Leanne modelling (behind the quilt) her completed quilt top “Cart Wheels” a workshop done with Jan Phillips in Roma.  Well done Leanne two thumbs up to you J it looks fantastic.

Next Ms Cecily displaying her hand appliqué quilt top (also hiding behind her quilt project) that she has started and has decided to make it her Tuesday Night craft project, don't you love the beautiful autumn colours.  Cecily also explained that this is just the centre piece it will gradually have more borders and applique pieces added on to evently be a queen size quilt, WOW! can’t wait to see the completed project.

Miss Liz, sorry the NEWLY married Ms Liz, (congratulations!!) displaying her beautiful but simple (elegant) 5” charm square quilt all done in girly colours aren’t they absolutely gorgeous.  Ms Liz has a determine look on her face of “I will get this project completed”, you go Liz.

Now Ms Lyn was sitting quietly but studiously up the back working hard on making some mini gift cards for her card stash and hopefully some the local florist shop she works in.  Just have a look at these gorgeous little cards and they even have spots on the too!  Well done Lyn they are fantastic J

I’m sorry I did not get a photo of Miss R (maybe next time) sitting consciously behind the sewing machine starting on her project which is a quilt for her bed in the beautiful colours of purple, green and white (I hope I got the colour scheme right).  I am looking forward to seeing the progress of this quilt top as it comes together over the next few weeks.

Until next time...

HAPPY CRAFTING EVERYONE!!

....finally finished.....

Hi there, Gayle here, I have a few finishes to blog today. I finally finished Slater's quilt. See pic's below. I added a few jellyfish after seeing these pic's so this is sort of how it looks.

Lynn saw me yesterday and said that she has finished making all her Christmas cards (all 55 of them to be precise). I think that she may have been rubbing it in!!LOL

Now I also want to wish Becc all the very best for tomorrow.

 

A visitor, PHDs, WIPs and UFOs and maybe even a finish

Some Show and Tell from Last Tuesday.

This is Cecily's 2012 flood quilt made using the fabrics affected in this year's flood.  This is a WIP (work in progress) as all the blocks are just placed on the table.  It is really stunning.

 A care quilt finished by Debra to add to the Roma Patchwork Club stash to give away this winter.

 Jan's Birthday card.  it is hard to tell in the photo, but it is 3D

 And a visitor.

Colleen came back for the markets on Saturday (and she brought her fabric with her).

 I thought the tent was too dark for photos, so I had the girls ham it up for me outside the tent.  Thanks for being good sports Colleen & Cecily.

We are quite excited, 3 of us are doing a workshop with Robyn Ginn of Toowoomba this weekend.  Check back next week for progress shots.
