| Janet's beautiful butterflies |
 |
| Beautiful boxes follow. Jackie's I think |
 |
| Jackie's? |
 |
| Janet's |
 |
| Jane's quilt - simple and very effective! |
 |
| Jane's block for a friend to add to.... |
 |
| Kim's Okehampton centre |
 |
| Completed centre - isn't it lovely? (And very small!) |
 |
| Norma started this, Kim finished it, Janet quilted it. Sterling work from all three and a really beautiful quilt. I think it was a block of the month from Village Fabrics |
 |
| A glorious colour and print for the backing |
 |
| Jackie's workbox - beautiful fabric; inside is at the top. It is absolutely stunning. |
 |
| Jackie made some hexies..and then some more. Many of these fabrics are from her youth, or her children's clothes, so sentimental in themselves. She then wondered what to do with them and settled on appliqueing them to calico squares. But when she put them together it looked a bit bland - lot of white space - so.... off to the hexies again, but tiny ones and then what to do. She fiddled about and got the main blocks to alternate direction - its quite subtle, but gives a bit of movement and once sewn together she appliqued these tiny beauties at the junction of each block and it just makes it. These pics do not do it justice; it is beautiful and Jackie should be very proud of herself. Quilting next, and I think she may be waiting for cooler weather! |
 |
| This is a hexie of a different ilk. It's part of a workbox that some of us are making. Wendy provided the pattern. You will see more further on..... |
 |
| Steph had some cat blocks which she has been paper piecing. Here she has laid them out on the floor trying to figure out the sashings for an attic window style and also alternate blocks. Don't think she has come to a conclusion yet! |
 |
| Lynne has been busy after a long period of being unable to sew....this fab dragon |
 |
| shirt and shorts for grandson |
 |
| top for grand daughter |
 |
| and this fab creation - not sure if its a swim suit or a gym suit (good at gym, that young lady) |
 |
| little owls on a bobbin tree |
 |
| Lynne brought in her chatelaine to show |
 |
| Sian was going to the US for a wedding and these two little pieces were gifts for her hosts, I think |
 |
| Sian's pretty country garden quilt, little florals, stripes for the fencing, lovely, summer colours |
 |
| Janet spent ages beautifully appliqueing these butterflies and then livened it up with these great sashings. They frame each block beautifully |
 |
| Sian's baby quilt - think it might be a commission. It's very pretty! |
 |
| I think this might also be one of Janet's, though Jane has also made one which you will see later on. Love the animals in the middle of each block. This is a log cabin variation though I think there may have been a template for it. |
