21st March

Edited 24/04/2019 - corrections to several errors.  Thank you to Evelyn who spotted the mistakes.

With 12 of us there, it was a fairly big gathering.  This of course meant lots of quilts came in and that means lots of people will have happy smiles.  Here they are - enjoy!

Cheryl made this one:

This one was made by Colleen from fabrics donated by Stitching Hearts friend Julie A.  It was quilted by Cheryl

 

We get a lot of quilt tops and partially made quilts as well as fabrics donated, and mostly, we can't credit the donor as we actually don't know who made the original donation.  There were a lot of completed quilts came in this week.  This batch were quilted by Robin.  The first two were completed by Jan and Christine from donated blocks and part blocks.

 

Robin's friend Wendy Williams donated this top.  Wendy is a well known quilter, designer and teacher and her business name is Flying Fish Kits.  She has been most generous in donating quite a few of her quilts to us.

No one owned up to the next three!

 

Evelyn made this little kids quilt:

 

 

 

Here are Robin's quilts:

 

 

 

 

Bev quilted a number of quilts made by Jill.  These first two were made with fabric donated by Jill's friend Kath.

 

 

 

 

 

And this is another of Jill's, this time quilted by Dasha

 

 

And here is another of Jill's, quilted by Evelyn.

 

Helen was also busy with a bunch of flannel wraps.

 

 

Last but not least, two quilts for which I have no information.  I did send out an email to our members, but no one has fessed up.  If you are reading this, and you know who made either, please let me know!

 

 

There was an appeal on Social Media a few days before the meeting, for blocks to be sent to Victoria for the people who had lost their homes in the devastating bushfires over the summer period.  As a group, we decided to support this.

Cheryl, Bev, Lesley and Dasha got stuck into scraps and brought in 26 blocks.

 

We also put 10 beanies and a scarf made by Helen into the pile to be sent (Victoria can be very cold in winter!).

 

And 3 quilts.  The first of these was made by Di Z, a Friday Quilter friend, and quilted by Jan.

 

And the other two were made by Robin.

 

Well if you have lasted this long to read this post, you have done well since it was a long post with loads of photos!  Thank you for visiting.
