The plan for Debra's blocks

As Olivia mentioned a couple of posts ago, I was working on a layout for this quilt.

Below are the 3 options. Which do you like?

Diagonals?

 

Chevrons?

 

Circles?

Catching up

Now it has been a bit of a while since we posted any photos so now for an update.

Zowie made more progress on her 1st quilt.  Here she is pinning the quilt.....

 and QUILTING IT HERSELF. 

 We are so impressed Zowie - your first quilt is one you should be proud of. 

 

We will have to photograph the finished quilt.

Then Leanne and Faye finished a couple of overnight bags - these had been a work in progress for a bit of a while. The 2 pink bags are made from the same fabric.  Isn't it fantastic how the changed handle colour changes the whole look of the bag?

 Debra completed the top of her "Cake Mix" quilt.  It is now waiting for quilting.

 Debra also bordered her "Scattered Tiles" quilt.  Yes waiting for quilting again.

 The lovely Faye brought in her STUNNING convergence quilt.  Recently returned from the quilter Faye was pondering binding.

 These are the two options chosen for binding - brown on half and mustard on half (diagonally).  It looks wonderful, but unfortunately we didn't photograph it.

 the last photo is Debra with a 'lacey scarf'.  This is just one of  the many made by Debra and Leanne.

Thanks for stopping by.  Hope we will have more updates soon.

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.

WELCOME

WELCOME UFO and PHD enthusiasts.  This little blog is to progress some of the creations the ladies of Roma UFO Crafters have made or are making progress on or just starting a new project because we can.

To kick us off here is a UFO by Cecily.  This was made using the fabrics that were flood affected in 2011 (She is about to start the 2012 flood quilt)

Then on Tuesday night Debra finished a quilt she started last year with the children from school.  The children stitched their 'hand' onto the background fabric and Debra pieced and quilted the wall hanging.  It will be hung in the school office sometime in the next week.

 Look at that cute little hand in the 2nd row, yellow square.  This hand belongs to a Prep student.  Just adorable.

And lastly and probably most excitingly.

KATRINA - a new patchworker who has never appliqued before - made this baby quilt from beginning to end in less than 2 weeks.  We are all so proud of you Katrina.  I am sure the Mum will love it at the baby shower this weekend.

 

and a great label for bubs too.

so ladies well done.  

I hope we can mange to post regular updates of our creations so our friends who have moved on can share our lovely work.
